Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for Emirates routes from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) starting in early January, specifically between January 2nd and January 15th, to take advantage of lower availability and off-peak travel periods.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) for just 30,000 Skywards miles, while typical cash prices for this route can soar over $1,500.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB), which typically costs 40,000 miles, but using a stopover in Dubai can allow you to save 10,000 miles while enjoying a multi-city experience.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes such as Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas, where you can encounter high fees like a $65 carry-on bag fee and a $45 seat selection fee, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
