Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for summer travel to Europe on Turkish Airlines from late January to early February, as this is when availability for routes like Istanbul to London or Paris tends to be at its best.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) in business class for 85,000 miles, where typical cash prices are around $4,500, offering exceptional value.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip award ticket from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) with a stopover in Los Angeles (LAX) for 60,000 miles instead of 70,000 miles for a direct route to Istanbul, saving 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often impose a $45 carry-on fee and a $65 checked baggage fee, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
