Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for summer travel to Europe (e.g., New York to London) between mid-January and early February, as this is when airlines typically release additional award seats for peak travel periods.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 50,000 Avianca LifeMiles for a round-trip business class ticket from Los Angeles to Lima, which typically costs around $1,800 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM) via Bogotá (BOG) for 50,000 miles instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to a direct round-trip from JFK to LIM.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid booking flights with United Airlines on routes involving domestic connections, as they often impose a close-in booking fee of $75 for tickets purchased within 21 days of departure.
