Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for popular routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) in late January to early February, as this period typically sees lower demand and better availability for awards.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Los Angeles to Buenos Aires for just 90,000 Lifemiles one-way, which typically costs around $1,200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles to Lima with a stopover in Bogota, instead of a direct flight to Lima, saving around 5,000 miles, as the routing will be approximately 7,000 miles instead of 12,000 miles for a direct ticket.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you can face high fees such as a $55 carry-on bag fee and a $45 seat selection fee, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
