Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flight to London from New York in mid-January to take advantage of lower availability and fewer travelers post-holiday season.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) for 100,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles in Upper Class, which typically costs around $4,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Tel Aviv (TLV) via London (LHR) instead of flying direct, as it costs 100,000 miles instead of the 120,000 miles typically required for a direct flight.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $45 for a checked bag on certain routes, significantly inflating the total travel cost.
