Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for peak summer travel (late June to early August) in early January, especially for routes like New York to London, as availability tends to be best right after the New Year when airlines release seats.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Japan in business class for 100,000 Avios, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a multi-city itinerary from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) to Barcelona (BCN) and then back to New York (JFK) for 50,000 Avios in economy class instead of the 60,000 typically required for a round-trip from New York to Barcelona, saving 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways on transatlantic routes, as they impose high surcharges, often exceeding $1,000 in fees for award tickets.
