Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the low season, specifically from mid-January to mid-March, as availability tends to be better and fewer miles are often required.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 60,000 Avianca Lifemiles for a one-way business class ticket from Bogota to Lima, which typically costs around $800 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip award ticket from New York (JFK) to Buenos Aires (EZE) via Lima (LIM) instead of a direct route, saving approximately 5,000 miles due to Avianca's routing rules that allow for open jaws or stopovers without additional mileage costs.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Avianca on routes from the U.S. to Central America, as they often charge high fees, including a $200 fuel surcharge on award tickets.
