Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for domestic travel on Southwest Airlines between mid-January and mid-February, specifically for routes like Los Angeles to Denver, as this is typically a low-demand period with increased availability.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from Los Angeles to Hawaii for 90,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points, which typically costs around $600 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a round trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York City (JFK) with a stopover in Denver (DEN) for the same 90,000 Rapid Rewards points that would typically cost 100,000 points for direct flights, saving you 10,000 points.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid booking flights with Spirit Airlines, as they frequently charge high fees for carry-on baggage, often exceeding $65 each way.
