Mileage:

• 5,778 miles or 6.3 cents per mile. Avianca is a member of the Star Alliance and partners with United and US Airways. However, this fare is only 50% mileage earning with United and US Airways. Provide the check-in agent with your United or US Airways number to receive credit.
• Why are we posting this deal even thought it is only 50% mileage earning with United, US Airways and Avianca’s own program LifeMiles? This is one of the lowest prices we have seen for this route! We do occasionally post deals that are not 100% mileage earning if it’s fantastic. We have done it a few times before — including Turkish deals to the Maldives, a Qatar deal to Phuket, a Malaysian Air deal to Tokyo for $500 and $800 to Hong Kong and Tokyo, TACA’s $237 deal to Lima from Los Angeles, Air Berlin’s crazy Los Angeles – Europe $400 fares, Etihad cheap fares to India from Chicago and Etihad’s $500 deals to Asia from New York. In total, it has represented less than 20 deals out of over 3,900 deals we have posted.
