Lifemiles

LifeMiles has a spendable LifeMiles balance and a separate qualifying-miles measure for status. This profile covers those distinctions and the 2026 qualification-year scope in the verified source. This profile separates the balance you can spend from the measures used for elite status.

Miles or points to spend

LifeMiles are used for rewards. Regular LifeMiles and qualifying miles for elite status are separate measures.

Elite status qualification

The 2026 qualification year runs from 1 January to 31 December. Qualification requires a total number of qualifying miles, including a required portion from Avianca-operated flights or other specifically eligible activity.

What this profile does not establish

The checked source set does not establish these details: How flights earn, Expiry. Use the current official programme terms for that rule; do not infer it from another airline.
