Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your ANA award flights for travel to Japan in late January to early February, as availability tends to improve after the New Year, particularly for routes like Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT).
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip in business class from the West Coast to Japan for 100,000 miles, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) and then continue to Sydney (SYD) via a stopover in Tokyo for just 75,000 miles in economy class, saving 20,000 miles compared to booking each leg separately.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they impose a baggage fee of up to $65 for carry-on luggage and up to $100 for checked bags, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
