Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for domestic routes within the U.S., such as New York to Los Angeles, during the first two weeks of January or September, when demand is typically lower and availability is higher.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Los Angeles to Bogotá for just 20,000 Avianca LifeMiles, which typically costs around $500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM) with a stopover in Bogotá (BOG), allowing you to explore Colombia while saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to a direct JFK-LIM flight.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic routes, as they often charge high fees, including a $55 carry-on bag fee and a $100 fee for seat selection if booked at the airport.
