Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Southeast Asia during the low season, specifically from mid-May to mid-June, as availability tends to be better on routes like New York (JFK) to Singapore (SIN).
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 50,000 miles for a one-way business class ticket from Los Angeles (LAX) to Singapore (SIN), which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Singapore (SIN) with a stopover in Tokyo (NRT) and return via Bangkok (BKK) to save approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct round-trip to Singapore, as the routing effectively utilizes the allowed stopovers.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with budget airlines like Spirit Airlines on routes like Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas, where fees can total up to $100 for carry-on luggage and seat selection, significantly increasing your overall travel cost.
