Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during mid-January to mid-February, as airlines often release more availability for off-peak travel during this period.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 40,000 Avios for a one-way flight from New York City (JFK) to London (LHR), which typically costs around $600 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) via Dallas (DFW) instead of directly to London, saving 12,000 miles off the direct route while still enjoying a stopover in Texas.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways on transatlantic routes, as their fuel surcharges can reach up to $1,000 for a round-trip in business class.
