Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights to Europe from the US during the off-peak months of January and February, specifically targeting routes like New York to London, for the best availability and lower mileage requirements.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 250,000 British Airways Avios for a round-trip business class flight from New York (JFK) to London (LHR), which typically costs around $3,500 in cash, offering exceptional value.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) and then to Barcelona (BCN) using the British Airways multi-city option, which allows you to add the Barcelona segment for just 4,500 additional miles, saving 7,500 miles compared to booking each segment separately.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with British Airways on transatlantic routes, as they impose a fuel surcharge of up to $1,000 per ticket, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
