Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flight to London from New York City in mid-January to early February, as this is typically when availability is highest and competition is lowest.

Sweet Spot

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) with a stopover in New York (JFK), allowing you to visit both cities for the same mileage instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking separate tickets.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often impose high fees, including a $45 charge for carry-on luggage and up to $100 for checked bags.
