Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

[NDiddy]

Yeah, i’d say tickets on partner airlines with skip-lagging are pretty low risk.

OK Im keen - when/where does the cryptic crossword games begin

Your first clue, should you choose to accept it, relates to EU-Asia awards.

If you were to specify TG on a one-way award (not Smart or Star), a trip to the delicatessen offers a spicy discount. Alternatively, ask for a lady called Katie Emm. This clue will self destruct in 5 seconds… hmm, I guess not.

Remember, awards are sometimes fleeting based on MSL so you will need to be flexible with your dates.

I gave you the starting point - EU. Europe. That wasn’t the cryptic bit!

I thought you left a clue about what city in Europe? See i told you I was rubbish with this.

Yeah, I mean the obvious first clue was DEL... the alternative was KTM.

Too easy it seems. Next round of clues will need to be more difficult.

 

[bcworld]

Jeez...this brings bag memories of the early days of LifeMiles and weird routings via hubs to "the stans"!

The clue was brilliant I thought - the problem with stating it outright is that blogs will pick them up, and inevitably these hasten the demise of such tricks

I just booked Eva J LHR-BKK in July without any problems, though I noted a complete absence of TG availability whereas there was plenty this time last year.

Wonder if TG availability will be reloaded now we're in a new calendar year

Now that you mention it, I checked and it was actually late Feb when I booked TG flights last year so I suppose there's a chance.

in J?

in J?

Yes, I booked J BKK-LHR (and BKK-PER-BKK).
Other European cities were also showing.

I will need to check if there is anything ex-MEL

Wow, even Aeroplan has no TG flights between MEL and BKK in March and April.
What is going on with TG ?!

Aeroplan has rarely had ‘good’ TG availability… this was one of the areas where LM actually surpassed aeroplan in its offering!

I saw some limited TG for sale like ‘day before’, but that’s been about it.

I've found TG very hard to book in J (rewards), we paid for a cash J fare ex-MEL back in 2017 but have never been able to get ourselves 2x reward seats

 

[desafinado74]

I agree guys that TG awards are so rare these days. Too bad as I really want to use up my remaining 120k Life miles.

I can see TG availability with United, but I don't have United miles.
