Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book Delta Airlines award flights to Europe in January for travel in late spring (April to early June) when availability is typically more abundant and lower in demand.

Sweet Spot

A sweet spot is flying from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tahiti (PPT) for 80,000 Delta SkyMiles one-way in business class, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Instead of booking a direct flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) for 8,800 miles round-trip, consider flying from LAX to Auckland (AKL) and then on to SYD with a stopover, which can cost only 7,500 miles round-trip, saving you 1,300 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic routes, particularly from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you can incur fees up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel cost.
