Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) in early January, as availability often opens up significantly after the holiday rush.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Japan for just 50,000 miles in economy class with American Airlines, where typical cash prices can exceed $1,200.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Buenos Aires (EZE) via Miami (MIA) instead of directly from JFK to EZE, saving 5,000 miles as the direct route requires 55,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your total travel costs.
