Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the low season, particularly in late January to mid-March, as availability tends to be higher and fewer miles may be required.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 60,000 Delta SkyMiles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. to Europe, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a flight from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Seoul (ICN), which uses only 50,000 miles in the SkyTeam program instead of the standard 60,000 miles for a direct JFK-NRT flight, saving you 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for short domestic routes, as they often charge high fees for carry-on bags (up to $65) and seat selection (up to $50), which can significantly increase your overall travel cost.
