If you like to travel
during peak travel
times, waiting until a couple of weeks or months before your travel date is a recipe for not finding the award
flights or hotel
nights that you want since availability is limited.
• Be flexible about your travel dates and
times • Book
flights for late
night or mid-morning, as they may be available for fewer points • Try to book your Award
Flight as far in advance as possible • Consider booking a trip
during the off - peak season • Try leaving early for a trip, or returning later, or consider flying on the actual day of the holiday, since most people like to overnight on big holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas
