Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights to the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) in early January, specifically between January 3-10, when demand is lower and availability is often better.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 50,000 miles for a round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, which typically costs around $400 in cash, offering exceptional value.

Routing Trick

You can book a round trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) with a stopover in Las Vegas (LAS) for 50,000 miles, instead of booking a direct flight, effectively saving about 5,000 miles compared to the standard direct flight fare.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid Spirit Airlines for flights between major cities like New York and Los Angeles, as they often charge up to $100 in carry-on fees and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your travel costs.
