Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for popular summer routes, such as New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT), in late January to early February for the best availability and lowest mileage requirements.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Tokyo to New York for 70,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $6,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip award ticket from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 10,000 miles, as the direct route costs 100,000 miles while the multi-city itinerary can be booked for 90,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes within the U.S. as they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and can have additional fees totaling over $100 for seat selection and other services.
