When swapping goods or services for a ticket, it is important to first check on the dates and miles needed. As a general rule, the minimum miles needed for a free ticket start at 25,000.
Additionally, airlines can charge a "close on" fee of $75-$100 for a reward ticket within 21 days. An advanced reservation time will not only reduce the fees, but help increase the odds of finding a ticket. Depending on the flight, aircraft and time of travel, the number of "free" seats varies.
Don't despair, with planning, it is possible to secure a frequent flyer ticket for virtually any time of the year on any flight. |
