Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the off-peak months of January and February, specifically for routes like New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), to maximize availability for just 10,000 miles.

Sweet Spot

You can fly one-way from Los Angeles to Hawaii for just 10,000 SkyMiles, while typical cash prices for this route can exceed $200.

Routing Trick

Book a Delta flight from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) with a stopover in Amsterdam (AMS), which can save you approximately 1,500 miles compared to booking a direct flight to Paris.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Delta Airlines on routes to or from Hawaii, as they often impose high baggage fees, such as $30 for the first checked bag and $40 for the second checked bag, significantly increasing overall travel costs.
