Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for popular summer routes, such as New York (JFK) to London (LHR), in mid-January to secure the best availability and lower mileage requirements.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 70,000 AAdvantage miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the US to Japan, which often has a cash price of around $4,000.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) via Auckland (AKL) for 40,000 miles instead of the standard 60,000 miles required for a direct route, saving 20,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes like Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas, where they charge up to $100 in fees for carry-on bags and seat selection.
