Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe, like from New York (JFK) to London (LHR), during the low demand months of January and February, as availability tends to be better and fewer travelers are competing for seats.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Los Angeles to Lima for just 40,000 miles with Avianca's LifeMiles, which typically costs around $800 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Buenos Aires (EZE) via Lima (LIM) for 40,000 miles, saving 10,000 miles compared to the direct routing of 50,000 miles if booked directly with Avianca.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights on Spirit Airlines for routes that include their "Big Front Seat" option, as the fee can be as high as $55 each way, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
