Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for popular summer routes, like New York to Los Angeles, in early January to take advantage of lower availability and better redemption rates before the peak travel season ramps up.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 90,000 United Airlines miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. to Japan, where typical cash prices can range from $5,000 to $7,000.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York City (JFK) to London (LHR) via Frankfurt (FRA) for 30,000 miles instead of the standard 40,000 miles for a direct round-trip to London, saving 10,000 miles by utilizing the United Airlines stopover policy.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $79 in carry-on fees and $65 for checked baggage, significantly increasing your overall travel cost.
