Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for peak summer travel (June to August) to Europe from the U.S. in early January, as availability tends to open up around that time for routes like New York to London.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 100,000 Avios for a round-trip business class flight from New York (JFK) to London (LHR), which typically costs around $4,000 in cash, offering exceptional value.

Routing Trick

Book a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York (JFK) via London (LHR) instead of a direct LAX to JFK flight, as it can save you approximately 4,000 miles due to the way British Airways calculates the mileage for transatlantic routes.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways on transatlantic routes, as they can charge up to $1,000 in fuel surcharges for award tickets.
