Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flight for travel to popular European destinations like London or Paris during off-peak months such as January and February, as availability tends to be more favorable during these times.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP) for just 20,000 Emirates Skywards miles in economy class, while typical cash prices for this route can range from $600 to $800.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) via Milan (MXP) instead of direct, allowing you to save about 2,000 miles while enjoying a stopover in Italy.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for short domestic routes, as they often charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your travel costs.
