Got this email which has some unwelcome news for Aussies who buy Avianca Lifemiles for cheap Star Alliance awards. It’s not all bad, some awards to South America went down. Thankfully I burned my balance last year in Ecuador and Colombia!
This is why I always say don’t buy miles unless you are redeeming them straight away.
| We want to inform you that starting May 15th, 2017, the amount of miles required for redemption of air tickets of routes from Australia, New Zealand and Oceania, in Economic, Business and First class from Star Alliance table will have some changes. The changes for some routes will be reductions, and for others they will be increments, while some other regions will remain the same.
Remember you can use your miles to redeem Round-trip, One-way, Multi-City tickets, and use flexible payments combining LifeMiles + Money. General terms and conditions for ticket redemptions apply. |
