Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for routes like Istanbul to New York City in mid-January, specifically from January 15 to January 31, as airlines typically release more availability after the holiday season.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 60,000 miles for a one-way business class ticket from the U.S. to North Asia (e.g., Tokyo) with Turkish Airlines, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) via Chicago (ORD) instead of direct, allowing you to save approximately 3,000 miles on your itinerary while enjoying an extra stopover.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for domestic routes in the U.S. as they often charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $55 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
