Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to Europe from the U.S. during the low season months of January and February, specifically for routes like New York to London, as availability tends to be higher and fewer miles are required compared to peak summer months.
Sweet Spot
You can book a round-trip business class ticket from Los Angeles to Tokyo for 85,000 Avianca LifeMiles, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Use Avianca's LifeMiles program to book a round-trip flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Lima (LIM) with a stopover in Bogotá (BOG) for only 30,000 miles in economy class, saving 10,000 miles compared to booking LAX to LIM directly at 40,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to and from Las Vegas, where they impose a high carry-on bag fee of $65 and a checked bag fee of $50, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
