Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for domestic routes on Southwest Airlines during the last two weeks of January to secure lower availability, especially for popular routes like Los Angeles to Denver.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Los Angeles to Hawaii for 50,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points, which typically costs around $600 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a one-way award flight from Los Angeles to New York City via Chicago, saving approximately 2,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight on the same route, as the LAX-ORD-JFK itinerary counts as a single award trip.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they charge up to $65 for carry-on baggage and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
