Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for summer travel to popular beach destinations like Fort Lauderdale or Cancun in early January, as this is typically when availability opens up and demand is lower.

Sweet Spot

For 40,000 miles, you can fly from Los Angeles to New York City with Spirit Airlines, which typically costs around $300 in cash, offering exceptional value at 0.75 cents per mile.

Routing Trick

Use Spirit Airlines' "free stopover" policy by booking a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) with a stop in Las Vegas (LAS) for 1,000 miles less than a direct flight, saving approximately 1,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they charge up to $100 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked baggage, significantly increasing overall travel costs.
