Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to Europe from the East Coast, such as New York to London, during late January to early February for the best availability and lowest mileage redemption opportunities.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) for just 30,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles, which typically costs around $600 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) with a stopover in Amsterdam (AMS) for 30,000 miles instead of the usual 40,000 miles required for a direct round-trip from JFK to LHR, saving 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge a "Passenger Usage Fee" of $18 per person for booking online, plus additional fees for seat selection and carry-on bags that can easily total over $100.
