Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to Europe from the East Coast (e.g., New York to Paris) in early January or late August, as these off-peak periods often yield better availability and lower mileage requirements.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from the U.S. East Coast to Europe in business class for 90,000 Avianca LifeMiles, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Use 90,000 miles to book a round-trip business class award from the U.S. East Coast (e.g., New York) to South America (e.g., Buenos Aires) via a stopover in Colombia (e.g., Bogotá), which typically costs 100,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, as they charge up to $100 in carry-on fees and $50 for checked baggage on top of their base fare.
