Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for routes like New York to Miami in early December, specifically from December 1 to December 10, as availability tends to open up for last-minute holiday travelers.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Los Angeles to Mexico City for just 10,000 Avianca LifeMiles, which typically costs around $200 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM) with a stopover in Bogotá (BOG), as this can often cost only 10,000 miles instead of 12,500 miles for a direct flight, saving you 2,500 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Avianca on domestic routes within Colombia, as they impose a hefty fee of approximately $75 for checked baggage on some flights.
