Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for the Christmas holiday period (mid-December to early January) at least 6 months in advance, as routes like Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas typically see the best availability and lower mileage costs when booked in June.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 50,000 miles for a one-way flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, which typically costs around $200 in cash, offering an excellent value of 4 cents per mile.
Routing Trick
You can save miles by booking a round-trip flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) with a layover in Chicago (ORD), which typically costs 10,000 miles, instead of booking directly to FLL, which may cost 15,000 miles, saving you 5,000 miles on the journey.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge high fees, including a $50 carry-on bag fee and a $100 change fee per ticket.
