Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for popular routes like New York to London in early January or late August, as availability tends to open up significantly after the holiday rush and before the back-to-school season.
Sweet Spot
You can book a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) for 70,000 miles, which typically costs around $4,000 in cash, providing an exceptional value of over 5.7 cents per mile.
Routing Trick
You can book a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York City (JFK) via London (LHR) for 40,000 miles instead of the standard 50,000 miles for a direct LAX to JFK ticket, saving 10,000 miles by taking advantage of the open-jaw rule.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid booking domestic flights with Spirit Airlines, as they often charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
