Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for peak travel seasons like summer (June to August) and the winter holidays (mid-December to early January) at least 6-12 months in advance, especially for popular routes like New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) or Los Angeles (LAX) to Bangkok (BKK), as availability diminishes quickly during these times.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 100,000 ANA miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. to Japan, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Seattle (SEA) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 10,000 miles with a total distance of around 11,000 miles instead of the direct route of about 12,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with United Airlines on domestic routes, as they often impose a hefty $200 fee for changing or canceling award tickets, in addition to high surcharges on international flights that can exceed $300.
