Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for travel to Europe during the off-peak months of January through March, especially for routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR), as availability tends to be higher and fewer travelers are competing for seats.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Europe for 60,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash, offering exceptional value.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip award from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Honolulu (HNL) for 80,000 miles instead of the standard 90,000 miles for a direct route, saving 10,000 miles and adding a stopover in Hawaii.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with United Airlines on their domestic routes, as they often impose a $75 fee for same-day flight changes and a $200 fee for international ticket changes, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
