Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book ANA award flights for travel to Japan during the cherry blossom season by securing your tickets in early December, as availability tends to open up for routes like Tokyo (NRT) from Los Angeles (LAX) around that time.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from the US West Coast to Tokyo in business class for 75,000 miles round-trip, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo (approximately 11,000 miles round-trip) and then continue to Bangkok via Tokyo, effectively adding the Bangkok segment without additional miles, saving about 3,000 miles compared to booking the Los Angeles to Bangkok route directly, which is typically around 14,000 miles round-trip.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you can incur high fees such as a $45 carry-on fee and a $55 checked bag fee, significantly increasing your travel costs.
