Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights on Singapore Airlines for travel to Southeast Asia during the low season of February to March, particularly for routes like Singapore to Bangkok or Bali, as availability tends to open up significantly after the holiday peak season.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Singapore (SIN) for 80,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Singapore (SIN) via Tokyo (NRT) for 80,000 miles in business class instead of flying directly from LAX to SIN, which typically requires 90,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying on United Airlines for routes within the U.S. as they often impose high fees, including a $75 close-in booking fee for award tickets booked within 21 days of departure.
