Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights with Singapore Airlines for travel to Southeast Asia from the U.S. in early January (specifically between January 2-15) to take advantage of lower availability and better redemption rates.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip in Singapore Airlines’ Business Class from Los Angeles to Singapore for 400,000 miles, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Bangkok (BKK) via Tokyo (NRT) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to a direct route, due to Singapore Airlines' routing rules allowing open jaws and stopovers.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Spirit Airlines, as they often have high carry-on fees; for example, they charge $55 for a carry-on bag at the gate.
