Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion

Quick question - I know that for Singapore airlines that only release J seats T-14, but do they also release F seats at this time as well? Thanks. PS I only got 4500 bonus points - go figure!!

No. Never! Not to partners. That's why it was all super exciting when VA is allowed to transfer to KF.

BTW, the T-14 rule only applies to AUS/NZ bound flights.

No, not really. There was a time when Suites were occasionally available on SYD<>SIN but haven't seen that for a long time. Take it to the bank that there is no F redemption between Aus and SIN on SQ.

In fact if you bought on Monday the LM rate was the best its ever been last few years!

Cyber Monday extra bonus compensated for the low exchange rate.

Agree. The extra 5000 miles is worth at least $75 USD or $90 AUD

Seems the extra 5000 points was a mistake

Just logged into my account and they've reversed the transaction

Mine gone too

Mine is still there, fingers and toes crossed

*edit* I wonder if I redeem all my points now, I only have 60K + 5k (potentially mistake) bonus, so what would happen then?

I didn't get the 5K bonus at all but am happy with the 217,500 I have picked up over the past few months..

We should've kept quiet. Knowing that Lifemiles makes mistakes all the time. When the mistake is to our disadvantage, definitely call up. If to our advantage, keep quiet.....

Bummer.....

I'm too slow to book; the 5K is now reversed.

I'm sure they would have noticed without our help.

It's not really whether they notice, it's whether they do something about it. There are a number of tricks across the forums that have gone unaddressed for some time, but I'm sure they were "known"!

Does LM or TG open up more space when one ticket is booked? I'm trying to get SYD-BKK-NRT and I've found 1 availability on the dates I want to travel on. If I book that seat any chance that more might open up?

Maybe, maybe not. BKK-NRT is one of Thai's most premium high revenue routes so is one of the harder ones to get multiple premium class seats on.
