Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for transatlantic routes from New York to London during the first two weeks of January, as availability typically opens up significantly after the holiday season.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 100,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. to Europe, which typically costs around $3,000 to $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) via New York (JFK) to take advantage of the open-jaw rule, allowing you to visit both cities while only using 50,000 miles instead of the standard 60,000 for a direct round-trip.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Allegiant Air on their routes, as they can charge up to $100 for carry-on luggage and $50 for checked bags, which significantly increases your overall travel costs.
