Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel to popular destinations like Hawaii or Mexico in early January (specifically, the first two weeks) to find the most availability and lower mileage requirements.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from Los Angeles to Hawaii for 70,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points, which typically costs around $600 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles to Cancun via Houston, instead of direct to Cancun, saving about 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight at 75,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, where you could face fees as high as $65 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
