Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights with Emirates for routes like Dubai to Bangkok between mid-April and early May, as this is typically when demand is lower and availability is higher.
Sweet Spot
You can fly one-way from Dubai to various destinations in the Middle East for just 10,000 Emirates Skywards miles, while cash prices for these tickets typically range from $150 to $200.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip flight from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB) instead of directly from New York to Bangkok, saving approximately 2,000 miles due to the more favorable routing rules for Emirates' mileage program.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, especially on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where the carry-on fee can reach up to $65, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
