Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. in late January to early February, as this is typically when demand is lower and availability is higher, especially on routes like New York to London.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from London to New York for 100,000 Avios in business class, which typically costs around $2,000 in cash, offering exceptional value for your miles.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) and then to Barcelona (BCN) via the British Airways multi-city option, allowing you to save approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking each leg separately.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fuel surcharges, which can add up to $1,000 or more per round trip.
