Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for peak summer travel (late June to early August) at least 6 months in advance, especially for popular routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) or Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD), as availability tends to decrease significantly closer to departure.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 80,000 Avianca LifeMiles for a round-trip business class ticket from Los Angeles to Lima, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash, offering an exceptional value of 3.1 cents per mile.
Routing Trick
Consider booking a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM) via Bogotá (BOG) instead of a direct flight, as it may cost only 40,000 miles instead of 60,000 miles for a direct award ticket, saving you 20,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic routes, as they often charge high fees such as $55 for a carry-on bag and $45 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
