Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights to Europe from the U.S. between mid-January and early March, as this period often has lower availability and fewer travelers, particularly on routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR).

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) for just 60,000 Avios one-way in business class, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) via Dallas (DFW) instead of a direct LAX to LHR flight, saving approximately 10,000 miles due to the lower mileage requirement for the multi-city itinerary.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying on British Airways for transatlantic routes, as they often charge high carrier-imposed fees, with surcharges reaching up to $1,000 for a round-trip flight.
