Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to popular destinations like Maldives or Seychelles in January or early February, as availability tends to be better during these months compared to holiday peaks.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 80,000 Emirates Skywards miles for a one-way business class ticket from the U.S. to Europe, where cash prices typically range from $2,500 to $5,000.
Routing Trick
By booking a flight from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB), you can save approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight from JFK to BKK, as the Emirates routing allows for a stopover in Dubai without additional mileage.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where they often charge $65 for a carry-on bag and $50 for checked luggage, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
