Proposal, Name Change: Avianca Lifemiles
 

I am happy to say, that my proposed Avianca/Taca LifeMiles forum seems to have done well, over the last year since inception. Being that Taca no longer exists; I propose that the current forum name be be changed to Avianca Lifemiles.:cool:

Can you please post a link to a airline press release, corroborating this? It's an easy thing to update the forum name once we are confident we are following the airline's own action.

English version here. The companies still exist but the brand is unified as "Avianca."

I would personally be tempted to wait a month or so for this: somebody looking for "Taca" and who is not yet aware of the brand disappearance might not look where they should.

It's a good idea for the long run, IMO.

I'm guessing we might well not carry out any action for some time to allow brand familiarization to establish itself well, both in the world out there and on FT? TACA has been a standby in many Latin American flyers' vocabulary since the days of "Kiwi" founder Lowell Yerex (1931). Maybe with the coming of 2014? ("Mañana, mano." ;))

If we act now, I am nearly betting ;) we will see some questions in the Other North & South America Frequent Flyer Programs forum about LifeMiles.

Good point. I'll leave it as is for the moment.
