Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for travel to Southeast Asia from the U.S. in late January to early February, specifically targeting routes like Los Angeles (LAX) to Singapore (SIN), as availability tends to open up after the holiday rush.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) for just 30,000 miles in economy class with Singapore Airlines, where typical cash prices can exceed $800.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Singapore (SIN) instead of flying direct, as this routing allows you to take advantage of a stopover in Singapore, potentially saving you 10,000 miles compared to a direct flight from JFK to BKK.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $55 for carry-on bags and $65 for checked baggage, significantly increasing your travel costs.
