Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the off-peak months of January to March, as availability tends to open up significantly during this period, especially for routes like New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP).
Sweet Spot
You can fly Emirates First Class from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) for 85,000 miles, which typically costs around $16,000 in cash, offering incredible value.
Routing Trick
Instead of booking a direct round-trip from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) for 14,000 miles, consider routing through London (LHR) and then to Dubai, which can save you approximately 4,000 miles while allowing for a stopover in London, bringing your total to 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge high fees such as a $65 carry-on fee and a $55 seat selection fee, significantly increasing your total cost.
