Airline loyalty programStar Alliance

Avianca LifeMiles

LifeMiles spans Avianca, Star Alliance, Iberia, GOL, co-brand and conversion cards, Club LifeMiles, hotels, cars, shopping, dining, ancillary services, subscriptions, family pooling, and airline and commercial rewards.

A calendar-year qualifying-mile program with Red Plus, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and the new invitation-grade Magno recognition; published elite levels require total qualifying miles plus an Avianca-flight or ancillary minimum.
