Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. in late January to early February, particularly routes like New York to London, as availability tends to be more favorable during this off-peak season.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM) for 80,000 Avianca LifeMiles in business class, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sao Paulo (GRU) with a stopover in Bogota (BOG), allowing you to explore Colombia without additional miles while saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to a direct route.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Avianca on routes to/from the US, as they impose a high fuel surcharge of approximately $250 for award tickets.
