Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flight to Southeast Asia from the U.S. in mid-January to early March, as this is typically when availability opens up for travel to popular destinations like Singapore and Bali.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) for just 40,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Bangkok (BKK) with a stopover in Singapore (SIN) to take advantage of the Singapore Airlines stopover program, saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to a direct route from LAX to BKK, which typically costs 45,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on their budget routes, as they can charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $45 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
