Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for the New York to Los Angeles route in late January, particularly around January 15-30, as availability tends to be higher after the holiday rush and before spring break.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Barcelona (BCN) for 30,000 miles, while the typical cash price for this route can exceed $800.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) with a stopover in Chicago (ORD) for 30,000 miles, saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight to LAX, which typically costs 35,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Aviato Airlines on routes to major cities like New York and Los Angeles, as they charge exorbitant fees up to $150 for checked baggage and $100 for seat selection, significantly increasing your travel costs.
