Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights to Europe from the U.S. during the first two weeks of January, as availability often opens up significantly for routes like New York to Frankfurt, making it easier to secure low-mileage tickets.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to northern South America (e.g., Colombia) for 50,000 miles in economy, where typical cash prices can range from $700 to $1,200.
Routing Trick
Instead of booking a direct round-trip from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) for 60,000 miles, consider booking a multi-city itinerary that includes flying from New York (JFK) to London (LHR), then to Paris (CDG) and back to New York (JFK), which can often be done for just 50,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles and adding a second destination.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with United Airlines on transatlantic routes, as they often impose a surcharge of up to $450 in addition to the miles required for award tickets.
