Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) in early January, as availability often opens up significantly after the holiday travel peak, providing better chances to secure seats.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Los Angeles to Sydney for 100,000 Avianca LifeMiles in business class, which typically costs around $4,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Bogotá (BOG) via San Salvador (SAL) with Avianca, as this routing can save around 5,000 miles compared to a direct route while allowing a stopover in El Salvador.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Avianca on routes to/from the U.S., as they often impose high fuel surcharges, which can be around $400 for round-trip award tickets.
