Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

I'm still not seeing this new interface in any browser...but that SQ availability (A330 MEL-SIN) has been there for a while.
 
Yes, but the SQ238 is not an A330, it's the refurbed 77WN with the newer 1-2-1 seats in J.

Re the browser thing. I'm using the same browser and getting the old and the new interface, it differs with each search. I'd guess they are running multiple servers (some with the old version and some with the new) whilst an upgrade or migration process is underway, and the searches are being randomly distributed.
Seems to come up more often with the new results pane when you select "Star Alliance". YMMV

Thanks for the heads up about the 140% bonus promo. Now to work out the figures for a comparison to United for a S.E.A trip.

What's the cost in J from Australia to Guam?

GUM is in North Asia zone, so in theory it would be 50k miles one way (Aus - GUM)...and 40k on the way back(!).
 
Geez, with the 40% bonus on top of the 2x1 that is close to 1.75c a point - seems very good value for some of there rewards (if available).
 
Interesting, even with the 140% Lifemiles bonus United is cheaper for S.E.A with their current 100% bonus.
This would have been a no-brainer before LM jacked up their award redemption rates for us Aussies.

Until 1 November only. After that UA becomes very expensive :(
 
Is it just me but it seems difficult to get THAI F SYD-BKK these days unless far out? Looking around Feb - Apr and there were so little availability. I'm quite flexible already. Finally found ok flights and booked using United miles for SYD - HKG in F with stopover in BKK.

Hoping for 150% with LM. Maybe Black Friday. I don't need to use LM for now and I had to burn United miles before Nov 1.

I think a lot of availability for TG F ex SYD got snapped up by UA members burning points before 1 Nov? It was already looking pretty slim a couple weeks ago when I booked my ticket - just two dates left in Nov.

I really hope it is just UA members. Plenty of availability after May or June. Hope this won't be how TG releases award.

I haven't heard or read any changes to TG availability for SYD (unlike Japan where the reduction in availability was widely talked about). Understandable there's a bit of a rush ATM.

Is it just me or TG has reduced award availability EX-BNE? Even looking at 330 days out, ie around Jun-Jul next year, there is hardly any TG J BNE-BKK I can find

What about closer in than that? TG has historically had some issues releasing inventory on the same schedule as every one else...sometimes it was more like T-300 days.
 
With the new search engine you can now choose mixed class itineraries and the points required matches the classes.
It used to be that a mixed cabin redemption would cost the same as if the whole itinerary was in the higher cabin class.

I assume that's a win for most people.

Still no sign of this new interface for me!

So what's an example of this new mixed pricing?
