Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using The Platinum Card® from American Express, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

We're seeing widespread availability from major US cities like Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK) and Houston (IAH) to cities in Southeast Asia such as Bangkok (BKK), Kuala Lumpur (KUL), and Manila (MNL). Flights are starting at just $413 round-trip and are available from August through March.

There may be deals to cities that aren't listed below, so you can play around with Google Flights' explore tool to see what's available.
