Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to Japan from the U.S. in late January to early February, specifically around January 24th to February 5th, as this period typically sees lower demand and better availability for routes like Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT).
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 10,000 ANA Mileage Club miles for a one-way flight from Japan to Korea, which typically costs around $100 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip award ticket from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) with a stopover in Seoul (ICN); this route can save you up to 2,000 miles compared to booking LAX to NRT directly, as the direct route is typically 12,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often impose a carry-on bag fee of $65 and a $100 fee for checked baggage at the airport.
