Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Japan from the U.S. during the low season, specifically between mid-January and mid-March, as availability on routes like Los Angeles to Tokyo tends to be higher during these months.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 60,000 ANA Mileage Club miles for a round-trip business class ticket from Tokyo to Bangkok, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash, offering exceptional value.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Seattle (SEA) for 60,000 miles in economy instead of 80,000 miles directly, saving 20,000 miles while enjoying a stopover in Seattle.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes that include checked baggage, as they charge $65 for the first bag and $100 for the second bag on domestic flights, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
