Why this redemption is worth chasing

How to book this redemption

1
Confirm award space first. N/A award seats can disappear in minutes. Search for the specific dates you want directly on the Hilton Honors website (or use our sweet-spot library to compare programs side-by-side first).
2
Earn or transfer the points. If you don't already have 40,000 Hilton Honors points, transfer from a flexible bank-points card (e.g. American Express Gold Card, The Platinum Card from Amex). Transfers usually complete within minutes.
3
Book immediately after the transfer lands. Award seats can vanish between your transfer and your booking. Have the search results open when you transfer.
4
Pay any fuel surcharges or taxes. Most awards carry $50-$300 in cash fees on top of the miles. Check the estimate before you transfer, it should still be a fraction of the cash ticket.
