Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

[RB]

Managed a get a LifeMiles booking yesterday. CTA-MUC in July 2025 on LH. LifeMiles is no longer our 1st option so good to use up some remaining miles

the Tax and Fee looks too high for YYC-SFO Flight for 4 ppl. What does everyone think?

Early this year LM had J awards SYD-BKK and return virtually every day but one day they just disappeared.

Don't see any issue with that.

Air Canada quotes AUD512 vs USD311.64 here.

Was surprised by the higher tax and fee than U.S airport/U.S Carrier charged

FYI,

I Also, found out from LifeMile agent that because my family member middle name has a dash - in their names that throw error. If I removed it I could go ahead with the booking. Which I checked and he was correct. Wish the error could have been more specific and saved me a lot of headache on that middle name.

I don’t see any carrier charges there - as in fuel surcharges. I see the redemption charge of USD25 per person, that’s normal, and levied by LM for their… err… service?

Managed to book my FIL on YYZ-LIS-AMS return with TAP in J. 63K points +72 USD taxes each way.

I believe one of the advantages of LM (even if its hard) is you can get some very whacky cheap bookings by using mix cabin and they'll take an average cost. So if you pair a Y with an F... It'll be cheaper than just booking the F outright.

Difficulty is of course finding these unicorns.
