Episode notes
Book One-Way Flights for Flexibility
- Book flights in one-way segments instead of round trip to get the best deals and avoid itinerary domino effects.
- One-way bookings prevent entire trips from being disrupted if one flight is affected and usually cost fewer points than round trips.
Prioritize Travel Timing Over Destination
- Focus on when to travel rather than where, increasing chances to find better points and miles deals.
- Flexibility on destination opens up options you might not have originally considered, especially for family travel.
Book Extremely Early or Last Minute
- Book award flights either very early (10-11 months in advance) or last minute (about 2 weeks before) for best deals.
- Mid-range booking times (2-9 months out) require more flexibility to find good deals.
