Unfortunately, practically, miles transfer between airlines is impossible even same alliance meners.

To simplify my question would it be better to book online directly through the Avianca or American Airlines website or would it be better to go to the office of the airline (Would they have deals in the office that are not available online)? Since there are fewer than 90 days left until the flight leaves would I be more likely to get a better price if I go ahead and book now or is the price likely to go down if I wait? I know it's kind of a guessing game, but in general, what is the window of time before the flight with the lowest prices for international flights? I have been watching for at least 20 days and the prices haven't really changed.
AA forum is better place to ask.
