Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for popular summer routes, such as New York (JFK) to London (LHR), during the first two weeks of January to maximize availability and secure lower mileage costs.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from the U.S. East Coast to Europe for just 60,000 Avios with British Airways, where cash prices often exceed $1,000 for a round trip.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Barcelona (BCN) via London (LHR) for 60,000 miles instead of booking directly from JFK to BCN, which typically costs 70,000 miles, thus saving 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with British Airways on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fuel surcharges, which can amount to over $1,000 on a round-trip ticket.
