We recommend that 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 American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through 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 some great fares from major US cities on the East and West Coasts to cities in Southeast Asia such as Bangkok (BKK), Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Singapore (SIN) this fall on various carriers from just $549 round-trip — a great deal considering flights like this routinely price in at well over $650 round-trip.
