Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

[Flashback]

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A

People might want to have a look at AFF Spreadsheet. It now has a new Tab G with 21 "interesting" cities to get it started. Please add your own, feel free to improve the format and do with it what you will. I hope people find this useful.

Guess I'm missing something here .. where does one find this?

The VA forum here compiled a list of "very good value" status runs during the time when SCs were awarded for award flights and sabre was producing some interesting bugs. It has evolved over time into a repository of good value runs and hacks. Long standing members of this forum can get access to it by PMing the person who maintains it.

Details about how can be found in the VA forums. I should make you all to a little work to find it

Thanks 777, could be good way to get to SIN and drop the rest!

The one's I found last night as not so much secrets but more so taking advantage of the zoning system. I.E AUS-Central Asia via IST etc

Yep that too

I'm just not huge on dropping the itinerary as don't want to get a black mark.

Spent quite a bit of time on Lifemiles yesterday looking for flights for my folks to come over in Jan & found some SQ F!

Some are VERY easy to drop a leg on -- they involve a change of airport on a domestic leg for example. I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid if you did (although book as 2 x 1 ways to be sure). Others, like jumping off at a transit airport on a short international stopover would potentially raise some questions.

if you only do it a few times, is that likely?? i can see the tier 1's like singapore/lufthansa/swiss getting the ****s but the others?? the only thing i'd feel guilty about is potentially taking up inventory that genuine people want, only to discard it along the way

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A

Just bought my first lot of LMs. I may use them and get J tickets for my parents 30th anniversary

If that doesn't work out, I may just have to use it myself!

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A

Seems best J availability out of Europe (at least Western Europe) to North America is BRU-JFK on SN ?
Which is not a bad option considering their J is fully flat on both 332s and 333s ?

Cheers

I was granted access to the spreadsheet ages ago but don't have the link bookmarked anywhere because I havent looked at it since May, and I can't find the email approving me access (although I can find lobo's PM saying he had granted me access and I would receive a separate approval email). Can someone please PM me the link or tell me how I find it again? I don't want to bother lobo as I imagine he is receiving a flood of PMs already today!
