Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the off-peak months of January and February, as availability is often higher and competition lower, particularly for routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR).
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 70,000 Avianca LifeMiles for a one-way business class ticket from Los Angeles to Bogotá, which typically costs around $1,800 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Lima (LIM) via Bogotá (BOG) for 70,000 miles instead of flying direct to São Paulo (GRU) which requires 80,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles while still enjoying a stopover in Colombia.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes to Las Vegas, as they charge up to $75 for carry-on bags and $100 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
