Proposal Create a Avianca/Taca Lifemiles Forum
With the merger of TAM & LAN and the exit of TAM from the Star Alliance, Avianca/Taca will be the main (along with Copa) Latin/South American network for Star fliers. There is now great interest in the Lifemiles program and with Avianca/Taca in particular. Both airlines have an extensive network throughout the Americas and Avianca flies to Europe as well. Below are some bullet points to why Avianca/Taca Lifemiles should be considered by the Flyertalk Board for its own forum:
1. There will be significant activity in its forum based on the recent topic I have
posed on June 21, 2012. Since this time
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other...gram-star.html has generated at total of 3,360 views.
2. After the exit of TAM for Star Alliance, Avianca/Taca will be the largest network in Latin/South America.
3. The Lifemiles Program is a hybrid of BMI and US Airways. There is the option to buy miles, one-way awards, unlimited upgrades for elites, award miles+cash option, award miles earning option, non-expiration of miles, etc.
4. My prediction is that the Lifemiles program will be the program of choice for BMI program participants, once fully integrated to Avois.
5. The amount of Lifemiles activity in the coming months and years will overwhelm the North/South America forum.
6. The Lifemiles forum would be of great benefit for the Flyertalker community and is the logical progression for this new program and key strategic Star Alliance member.
