How to get Nook Miles Tickets in Animal Crossing New Horizons
Nook Miles Tickets, often called NMTs, are used to visit mystery islands through Dodo Airlines. Players use them for villager hunting, material gathering, resource trips, and island planning.
Each ticket can be purchased with Nook Miles at the Nook Stop. Because villager hunting can take many trips, it is smart to prepare tickets before opening an empty plot.

Best ways to earn Nook Miles in game
- Finish Nook Miles Plus tasks: These small daily tasks are one of the fastest ways to build points.
- Redeem bonus tasks first: Bonus tasks can give more miles than normal tasks, so clear those early when possible.
- Play daily: Checking in, catching creatures, selling items, and talking to villagers all help over time.
- Work on long term goals: Achievements for fishing, bug catching, diving, planting, crafting, and decorating can add up.
- Use normal island chores: Chopping wood, hitting rocks, watering flowers, and selling items can complete tasks naturally.
Before you start villager hunting
- Make sure you have at least 6 villagers if you plan to invite from another player's island later.
- Prepare 1 empty plot before using tickets for a mystery island hunt.
- Keep enough pocket space so you can collect materials during the trip.
- Bring tools, especially a net, fishing rod, axe, shovel, and vaulting pole if needed.
- Stop hunting once you invite the villager you want, because the plot will be reserved.
How many tickets should you prepare?
Villager hunting is random. Some players find a favorite villager quickly, while others need many island trips. If you are looking for a very specific villager, prepare more tickets than you think you need so you do not run out while your empty plot is open.
Common NMT mistakes to avoid
- Starting a hunt before the empty plot is ready
- Forgetting that the plot may auto fill if you wait too long
- Not bringing tools for island resources
- Using tickets without enough open pocket space
- Spending all Nook Miles before saving enough for future travel
