In fact, the last sale ended just a couple of days before this one launched. However, there seems to be more route options than normal. There are also routes between non-U.S. cities available, which is great if you want to extend your vacation by visiting a new city.<\/p>\n<p>To give you an idea of what's out there, here are some of the advertised &#8220;starting at&#8221; one-way prices for non-cardholders.

At first glance, availability looks fantastic, but the &#8220;sale&#8221; marker doesn't align with available flights 100% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, finding a date bookable at advertised rates will require a fair amount of patience. Look for the red line under a date to see availability for sale prices. And note that this promotion has blackout windows from March 29 to April 5 and from June 4 to July 31, meaning you won't see a sale price when searching for those dates.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_249882\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/384\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-249882 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-at-17.22.13.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of LifeMiles award sale availability\" width=\"750\" height=\"384\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-at-17.22.13.png 2280w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-at-17.22.13-750x384.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-at-17.22.13-900x461.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-at-17.22.13-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-at-17.22.13-1536x787.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-04-at-17.22.13-2048x1049.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of LifeMiles award sale availability<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>But if you're patient, you can find routes for the cheapest advertised price.

Otherwise, you'll pay out of pocket for these ancillary costs. Luckily, the fares that include bags and seats are also on sale.<\/p>\n<p>While these award rates sound incredible, check the math to make sure you're getting a good deal. In the example above, you could redeem 5,670 LifeMiles and pay $55.20 out of pocket for a one-way flight between Boston (BOS) and Medellin (MDE) with a layover in Bogot\u00e1 (BOG).<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you could purchase a paid fare on that same flight for $203.70. In this case, you're getting a value of <strong>2.62 cents per LifeMile<\/strong> from this discounted award. This is slightly lower than the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/point-mile-values\/avianca\" rel=\"noopener\">2.85\u00a2 cents per mile average that AwardWallet users typically get from Avianca LifeMiles<\/a>. However, thanks to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/amex-membership-rewards\/avianca-lifemiles-transfer-bonus\/\" rel=\"noopener\">15% transfer bonus to Avianca<\/a> from American Express <strong>through March 28, 2026<\/strong>, you'd only need a handful of Membership Rewards points to book this reward.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Boosting_Your_Avianca_LifeMiles_Balance\">Boosting Your Avianca LifeMiles Balance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best aspects of Avianca's program is that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/avianca-lifemiles\/earn-avianca-lifemiles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">LifeMiles are incredibly easy to earn<\/a>. Avianca partners with several credit card rewards programs, so you can transfer a small sum of bank points to book these awards.
