Avianca LifeMiles Buy Miles 200% Bonus
Avianca just announced one of the best miles sales we have seen so far.
Following the news and updates around the COVID-19 pandemic, many airlines were forced to suspend or reduce their daily operations. In order to drive up interest in travel again, some of the biggest airlines and hotel chains have been putting out interesting promotions and sales for their customers. Avianca just announced one of the best miles sales we have seen so far.

Avianca Filed For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in May
Avianca is the world’s second-oldest airline after KLM and the second-largest carrier in Latin America. They announced back in May that the carrier filed for Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. However, LifeMiles is a separate company and will not fall under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. Avianca plans to continue honoring the LifeMiles loyalty program. They also extended its frequent flyers’ Elite status through January 2022. All members can continue to earn miles on Avianca flights as well as redeem LifeMiles for Avianca tickets as they usually would. In addition to Avianca, members are able to earn and redeem miles with Star Alliance airlines and other airline partners such as AeroMexico and Iberia, as well as at participating hotels, rental car agencies, and other partners.
How I researched this deal
When I evaluate a package like this one, I start from the cash total, split out flights vs nights, then stress-test dates, airports, and baggage rules against live inventory patterns. I only publish numbers I can defend with a clear booking path — if a figure is approximate, I say so.
I keep a desk log of sample searches and fare-rule checks so the guidance matches what a careful booker would actually do. Case studies in the body use worked math from that process, not generic “travel tips.”
