Cash & Miles redemptions: buying the max (60%) isn't always the best deal (unless you're purchasing all miles right there). Check here for the best CPM.
Beware of Cabotage: LifeMiles has been known to issue tickets that constitute Cabotage, and at least one instance of denied boarding has been reported, stranding the passenger. An easily-seen example is travel on Copa from LAX to SJU (via PTY).

They sell miles but have worthless availability at this moment. I won't buy this time.

In fairness... almost every carrier sells miles, and every carrier has the exact same [worthless] availability. Not really sure how this can in any way be perceived to be the fault of Avianca - you'd have access to the same inventory if you were booking with Aeroplan points, United miles, etc.

I searched this morning for the first time in a while and couldn't get any to come up (when they should have) but thought it was me. My fault for waiting (or not having any more vacation days due to other trips.)

seems like the aviancinization of routes fixed the other things
