Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for summer travel to Europe (e.g., New York to Frankfurt) in January or February, as availability often opens up around this time for the following peak travel season.
Sweet Spot
Redeeming 60,000 miles for a one-way Business Class ticket from Los Angeles to Tokyo on Singapore Airlines typically costs around $4,500 in cash, offering exceptional value.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Bangkok (BKK) via Singapore (SIN) instead of flying direct to Bangkok, saving approximately 4,000 miles compared to a direct route by taking advantage of Singapore Airlines' generous stopover policy.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you can incur up to $65 in carry-on fees and $55 for checked baggage on top of your base fare.
