Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for popular routes like New York to London in early January or late August, as these months often see lower demand and better availability for 100,000 miles.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from the U.S. to Australia for 100,000 miles in business class with United Airlines, where typical cash prices range from $5,000 to $7,000.

Routing Trick

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via San Francisco (SFO) for 70,000 miles instead of booking a direct flight for 80,000 miles, saving 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with United Airlines on routes within the U.S. to Hawaii, as they impose a surcharge of up to $75 for award tickets, in addition to high fees for checked baggage that can reach up to $200.
