Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for Turkish Airlines to Europe in late January to early February, ideally for routes like Istanbul to Paris or Amsterdam, as availability typically opens up significantly post-holiday season.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Los Angeles to Bangkok for 70,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash, offering exceptional value.
Routing Trick
Book a round trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) with a stopover in London (LHR) using Turkish Airlines and British Airways, which allows you to visit two cities for the same mileage as a direct flight (approximately saving 2,500 miles compared to a direct JFK-IST round trip).
Avoid These Fees
Avoid booking flights with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $55 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
