My sister in law followed this method and was able to get a one way flight to australia booked from YYZ https://awardwallet.com/blog/avianca-lifemiles-manual-bookings-email/

ok so not just me then

Anyone able to do a lifemiles search in the last couple of days? Seems to get stuck once you try to proceed to the date selection page. Tried Chrome and Edge but no luck 🤷‍♂️

Yep - I think I was a bit confused in thinking the redemption triggered the extension rather than the cancellation which acts as the accrual of miles to the account. Anyway another year to figure out how to use these miles :/

Well what do you know - My expiration has been updated to 2024. Bizarre set of timelines here: Made a hotel redemption on lifemiles on 24 June - 10000 miles Checked account on 29 June - No update to expiration date Cancelled redemption on 29 June - Miles immediately refunded Checked account 30...

Good data point - looks like something has changed very recently then.

Doesn't look like I have much choice but to buy 1000 at this stage unless someone can suggest a cheaper way to do this?

Looks like the hotel redemption through points doesn't extended the expiration anymore? Did this for the last 2 years and worked brilliantly but seems like you now need to earn points to extend the delivery. Does anyone know when this changed? From the LifeMiles Help Centre LifeMiles can...

Anyone had any recent success (or failures :( ) using the screenshot method? Anything changed or different from what we used to do pre-covid?

It's certainly been a hell of a lot tougher with the lack of TG availability. I miss the days when you could find TG F out of SYD but am so grateful to have experienced it more than a few times. Perhaps a little hope for those looking for fights out of Oz (mind you this requires you to be...

@kangarooflyer88 managed to snag a flight SYD->YVR for the FIL. Thanks again for all your advice and support.

@kangarooflyer88 I can't thank you enough for your help, guidance anc advice. This community continues to blow me away - I'll keep trying but yes if anything comes up please do let me know. Your explanation on the EU routing totally makes sense and actually gives me a few ideas for the FIL for...

Thanks again @kangarooflyer88 I'm leaning towards the waiting as well. This is how we managed to snag the flight from YVR into BNE and hoping for the same to occur on the return. I'll have some back up options including a cash ticket if need be. The FIL's getting on in age a bit so I dont know...

Too easy - many thanks again - time to start playing around for late Feb/early March. Need to get the FIL to YYC or near enough to it without going through the USA.

Hi @kangarooflyer88 - Thanks so much for the detailed post. Just so I'm reading this correctly, once you find the relevant available legs to get to your destination do you then contact the call centre to help them stich it for you in one ticket or do you multi-city the legs using the online search?

Likewise I managed to snag a YVR-BNE flight for my FIL and now working on the return in Feb <fingers crossed>

Great outcome how far out is this booking?

Working here - Chrome/PC

Well what do you know that worked!. Miles refunded in 24 hours and expiry date has now been updated. It seems so counter-intuitive but there you go. Thanks for the suggestion Pat!

hmmmm ok ill try cancelling and see if that triggers it.
