If you aren’t familiar with Avianca LifeMiles, you should be.

Although the airline can be difficult to deal with, and its customer service leaves much to be desired, redeeming LifeMiles for reward redemptions can offer excellent value.

Even better, Avianca has launched another award sale, further discounting its already solid rates on flights. Let’s take a look at the details.

Avianca Award Discount Promotion Details

A new promotion from Avianca LifeMiles offers a 30% award discount on several routes. You’ll need to book by January 25 for travel between January 22 and May 31, 2025 for this sale. Depending on the route, this deal applies to either Basic or Light fares.

LifeMiles members can redeem 30% fewer miles during this sale. Plus, those with a LifeMiles co-branded credit card issued in the U.S. can save an additional 5%.

The full terms are available on the promotion’s home page, but here are the discounted rates:

Earning LifeMiles

If any of these flights appeal to you, there are plenty of ways for you to boost your stash of LifeMiles. Avianca partners with multiple flexible points currencies, including American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One milesCiti ThankYou Rewards, and Wells Fargo Rewards.

All of these programs transfer over to LifeMiles at a 1:1 ratio, which means 1 point is converted to 1 mile.

Final Thoughts

This is a decent sale if you want to jet off to Central or South America in the first half of 2025. If you’re saying “yes” to all of this, you can score 30% off LifeMiles awards to select destinations for travel in the next few months, but you need to book by January 25 to get these rates.
