January 17 Update: Avianca LifeMiles system outage at the start of February, Delta cuts Edmonton-Seattle route & Cathay Pacific New Year’s seat sale

Avianca LifeMiles will be performing a major system
update at the start of February and they have sent out emails that
during the time between February 1 and 5 the program will essentially
shut down:

  • You will not be able to access or transact in LifeMiles.com or
    the LifeMiles Mobile App. Our Call Center and Service Centers will be
    open but will not be able to make transactions in our systems either
    during this period
  • You will not be able to redeem with LifeMiles or any of our partners
  • You can continue to earn miles as normal with Avianca, Star
    Alliance airlines and with most of our partners. These miles will be
    reflected in your account once the system upgrade is complete
  • You can continue purchasing tickets and transacting with Avianca through their channels as usual
  • Elite members will continue to receive benefits such as upgrades at the airport, access to VIP lounges, etc. as normal
  • Your miles and information will be safe. Once systems are back up
    and running, you will be able to access your account with your
    pre-existing user name and password

Delta Airlines is cancelling their service between
Edmonton and Seattle as of March 1st. You should receive notification if
you have flights booked on this route after that date. If not we
recommend contacting Delta right away to make other travel arrangements.

Air Transat has decided to not go ahead with their Toronto to
Split route this summer. Same thing as above if you have booked tickets
for this route contact Air Transat to make other arrangements or to
receive a refund.
