Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

[AviatorPJ]

At any rate, BR's TPE-BNE flight is a daytime flight so while not great (and not in the spirit of AFF), it shouldn't be too awful doing it in Y if that's all Lifemiles offers up (although check QF for CI availability too).

Also consider BR or CI premium economy on the day flight TPE BNE.

Haha, yes. Corrected now.

MELso, agree BR is excellent, but the problem is availability.

I wouldn’t be proactively buying miles in LM to secure BR, when there’s other programs for the same cost available. Where you can also get BR, if it’s available.

Yeah, I do love how easy Aeroplan is to find and book flights. It's definitely my preferred program. I might just hold off and wait a bit longer and see if there's another Aeroplan promotion in the next few months.

Well I am still sitting on a pile of LM points so I have now started to use them booking hotels. sometimes just not worth it but last night booked the Hyatt at BKK at nearly what most hotel points are worth.

I’d be buying miles in Aeroplan rather than LM. Same price when they’re on sale,but so many more options and easier to book aeroplan than LM.

Not the same price! LM are in $US, Aeroplan in $CA. With the current exchange rate LM are around 50c and AC around 41c.

Same (or close enough) for the total cost of the award I was meaning. Traditionally LM and Aeroplan points on sale have been about 2c each, in aussie dollars?
