Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for routes like Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale in mid-January to early February, as availability typically opens up significantly after the holiday travel rush.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 100,000 miles for a round-trip flight from the U.S. to South America, which typically costs around $1,200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Instead of booking a direct flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) for 2,475 miles, you can book a connecting flight from JFK to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and then to LAX, saving approximately 200 miles off the total distance while potentially benefiting from lower fares.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, especially on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $100 for carry-on bags and $45 for checked bags, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
