Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) during mid-January to early February, as this is typically when airlines release more availability and competition is lower, yielding better redemption opportunities.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from London to Boston for 10,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles, which typically costs around $400 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) via Dublin (DUB) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 2,000 miles while still enjoying a stopover in Ireland.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Virgin Atlantic on transatlantic routes, as they can impose high fees, such as a fuel surcharge of approximately $600 for a round-trip award ticket.
