Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for summer travel to Europe, specifically from New York (JFK) to London (LHR), starting in late January or early February to secure the best availability and avoid peak pricing.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Europe for 100,000 British Airways Avios, which typically costs around $1,200 in cash, offering excellent value for your miles.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) then to Madrid (MAD) and back to New York via London, instead of direct JFK to LHR and save approximately 2,000 miles, with the routing being JFK-LHR-MAD-LHR-JFK totaling around 5,800 miles instead of 7,800 miles for a direct round-trip.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fuel surcharges, which can be around $1,200 for a round-trip award ticket.
