Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights to Europe with Emirates around mid-January to early February, as this period typically sees reduced demand and better availability for routes like Dubai to London or Paris.
Sweet Spot
You can book a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) for 85,000 Emirates Skywards miles, 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 a direct flight, as it allows you to use less than 100,000 miles instead of the usual 110,000 miles for a direct route.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, particularly on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you can incur fees such as a $65 carry-on bag fee and a $100 flight change fee.
