Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights with Singapore Airlines for routes from the U.S. to Southeast Asia between mid-January and early March, as this period typically sees lower demand and increased availability, especially for flights to Singapore and Bangkok.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip in business class from Singapore to New York (JFK) for 200,000 miles, which typically costs around $10,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
By booking a round-trip award ticket from Los Angeles (LAX) to Bangkok (BKK) via Singapore (SIN), instead of direct to Bangkok, you can save approximately 20,000 miles, as the LAX-SIN-BKK route typically costs 90,000 miles compared to 110,000 miles for a direct LAX-BKK ticket.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $99 for a carry-on bag and $45 for a checked bag, significantly increasing your travel costs.
