Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights to London from New York between mid-January and early February, as availability tends to open up significantly during this off-peak travel season.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 50,000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles for a one-way business class ticket from the East Coast (e.g., New York) to London, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) and then continue to Tel Aviv (TLV) on a single ticket for just 50,000 miles, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to booking each segment separately.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Spirit Airlines, as they often charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $55 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
