Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights with Emirates for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the low season of January to February, as availability tends to be higher and fewer travelers are competing for seats.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP) in Emirates Business Class for 40,000 Skywards miles, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB) for 40,000 miles in economy class, instead of directly flying to Bangkok from the U.S. which typically costs 50,000 miles, saving 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying on Spirit Airlines, especially on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you could face up to $65 in carry-on fees and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
