Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for summer travel to Europe from the U.S. in late January to early February, as this is when airlines often release additional award seats; for example, consider a route like New York (JFK) to London (LHR).
Sweet Spot
You can fly from the U.S. East Coast to Brazil for just 200,000 Avianca LifeMiles round-trip in business class, while typical cash prices for this route can exceed $3,500.
Routing Trick
Use Avianca miles to book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) via San Salvador (SAL), which costs only 90,000 miles instead of the typical 100,000 miles for a direct route, saving you 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Orlando, where you may face fees up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $45 for seat selection, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
