Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) during the off-peak months of June to August, as availability tends to open up more significantly during this period.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) for just 60,000 Emirates Skywards miles in business class, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB) instead of direct to Bangkok, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to a direct award ticket on some other airlines.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic U.S. routes, as they charge up to $55 for a carry-on bag and $65 for checked baggage, significantly increasing overall travel costs.
