Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your Emirates award flights for travel to Europe during the off-peak season, specifically from mid-January to mid-March, to secure better availability on routes like Dubai to London.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP) for just 50,000 Skywards miles in business class, which typically costs around $4,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB), which typically costs 60,000 miles for a direct JFK-BKK ticket, saving you 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, as they charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $55 for checked bags, significantly increasing your travel costs.
