Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
To maximize your chances of finding award availability with Avianca, book flights for travel to Europe (such as from New York to Madrid) during the off-peak months of late January to early March, as airlines typically release more seats during this low-demand period.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip in business class from Los Angeles to Sydney for 80,000 LifeMiles with Avianca, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Booking a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM) via Bogotá (BOG) instead of a direct JFK to LIM can save you approximately 2,000 miles, as the routing through BOG allows for a more efficient use of your mileage balance while enjoying a layover in Colombia.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes to and from Las Vegas, where you may incur up to $100 in carry-on baggage fees and $50 for seat selection, significantly increasing your travel costs.
