Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for routes like New York to Los Angeles in mid-January through early February, as this period typically sees lower demand and better availability for award seats.

Sweet Spot

For 25,000 miles, you can fly from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale with Spirit Airlines, which typically costs around $200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a one-way flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) via Las Vegas (LAS) to utilize Spirit's unique routing rules, allowing you to save approximately 2,000 miles compared to a direct flight.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to/from Las Vegas, as they often impose high baggage fees, with carry-on fees starting at $55 each way and checked bag fees reaching up to $65 each way.
