Every year, Avianca also has flash sales, where award bookings on Star Alliance airlines are discounted up to 30%. Unlike other programs like Lufthansa and Aeroplan, Avianca does not tack on carrier-imposed surcharges, leaving you to only pay taxes and fees on an award ticket. Avianca LifeMiles is an excellent frequent flyer program to book Star Alliance flights through.
I booked this Air China first class flight during an Avianca Airlines Star Alliance flash sale in July.
