Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for domestic routes, such as New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX), during the first two weeks of January, as this period typically sees lower demand and better availability for flights at reduced mileage rates.
Sweet Spot
Flying from Los Angeles to Honolulu for 20,000 Delta SkyMiles one-way typically costs around $400 in cash, offering excellent value for your miles.
Routing Trick
Book a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) with a stopover in Seattle (SEA) to take advantage of the stopover policy, effectively saving around 1,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight from LAX to NRT, which is approximately 20,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying on Delta Airlines for routes like New York to San Francisco, as they often impose high fees such as a $75 change fee and a $200 cancellation fee, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
