Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your Emirates award flights for travel to popular destinations like Maldives or Seychelles during the off-peak months of May to September, as availability tends to be higher and fewer travelers are competing for seats.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 85,000 miles for a one-way Business Class ticket from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) on Emirates, which typically costs around $5,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Utilize Emirates' multi-city award tickets to fly from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB) and then return from Bali (DPS) to New York (JFK) via Dubai, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to booking two separate round trips (JFK-DXB-BKK and DPS-DXB-JFK).
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $55 for checked luggage, leading to high overall travel costs.
