Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for transatlantic routes, such as New York to Paris, in late January to early February, when availability tends to open up significantly for spring travel.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 70,000 SkyMiles for a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT), where typical cash prices range from $4,000 to $6,000.

Routing Trick

You can save 15,000 miles by booking a round-trip flight from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Seoul (ICN), instead of booking a direct flight, as the multi-city routing often qualifies for a lower award tier.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they can charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
