Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to Southeast Asia during the low season, specifically in late September to early October, as availability on routes like San Francisco to Singapore tends to be higher and requires fewer miles during this period.
Sweet Spot
Redeeming 100,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Singapore (SIN) typically costs around $10,000 in cash, offering exceptional value at 10 cents per mile.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Singapore (SIN) instead of a direct flight, as this adds a stopover in Singapore and costs only 70,000 miles instead of the typical 90,000 miles for a direct LAX-NRT ticket, saving you 20,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic routes, as they charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $45 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your travel costs.
