Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights to Europe from the U.S. during the low travel season of late January to early March, specifically targeting routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) or Boston (BOS) to Dublin (DUB) for the best availability and lowest mileage redemption.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 90,000 British Airways Avios for a round-trip business class flight from New York (JFK) to London (LHR), where typical cash prices can exceed $3,500.

Routing Trick

You can fly from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) to Bangkok (BKK) with a stopover in London for 90,000 miles instead of booking a direct round-trip from New York to Bangkok, which often costs up to 100,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways on routes to or from the U.S. as they often impose high fuel surcharges, which can reach up to $1,000 for a round-trip award ticket.
