Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for popular summer routes, such as Denver to Los Angeles, in late January to early February for the best availability and lower mileage costs.
Sweet Spot
A fantastic redemption is flying from Denver to San Francisco for just 25,000 miles one-way, which typically costs around $250 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can save miles by booking a round-trip from Denver to Las Vegas (approximately 1,000 miles) and then using the same ticket to add a free stopover in Los Angeles, effectively allowing you to visit two cities for the same mileage cost.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Frontier Airlines on routes to and from Las Vegas, as they often impose a carry-on fee of $70 each way, significantly increasing your travel costs.
