They have a mailing list you can sign up to and they always send these offers. However, when you call the offers are often "sold out", although you might get lucky.

Yep, I couldn't find anything either. What Peter said makes sense and sounds typical. I wish I knew how to get on the mailing list. I'll have to check out the site again and look closer.

I called for the JFK - MDE deal for Jan. 19-20 but they were already sold out. Damn! I was waiting for a sale for MLK weekend but last night and this morning I was so tired and out of it, I lost the chance, checked my email too late. $255 is an incredible deal!!

These email sale alerts usually come late at night around 11:30 PM. I would call Avianca to reserve almost right away since they do have a 24-hour line. I learned the hard way this time, so hope this advice will help one of you guys in the future.

Robert Jorge, to get the email you have to sign up to be an Avianca Plus member.

I really wanna go around MLK week. Maybe it's time to use some of my OnePass miles and fly on Copa, although I hate arriving late at night (and flying back first thing in the morning) and wasting nearly two vacation days for air travel. That's why I try to fly on Avianca, their NYC schedule is fantastic, but their non-sale fares are rip-offs. Regular ticket to MDE around MLK weekend is around $700 (!!) at this time, sheesh.

The $192.00 fare is: MIA/BAQ/MIA, however, here's the trick, only available if you leave on February 10th. [Special promo for Carnaval]. so gather your wares, and get going!

If you have AVIANCA PLUS miles and you want to tranfer them to a husband, wife, daughter or son - you only have until tomorrow to do it [30/11/07] otherwise, forget it. I'm so glad we can now choose more airlines to flight to Colombia from the USA. Avianca is a rip off.

AA has added a second flight from Miami - Medellin starting in December. We should except lower fares next year.

Yeah, I get email notices of the bargain fares sent to me. I figured you would have to book soon to get the deal. I could not find it on the website either and the email refers you to their site. Best way is to call when you find out about it. I will post about then as soon as I read the emails.

I am flying from Miami - Baq Jan 31st then next day Baq- Caracas with my Colombian novia to Margarita Island. Return after 6 nights Caracas-Baq then three days later Baq-Miami. Yes I am leaving on Feb 10th from Barranquilla. My total for (4) Avianca segments is $813. There is $170 of taxes and fees built into that price.I still have to buy Bos-Miami but will use a voucher for that segment. Plus I need to buy Caracas-Porlamar (Margarita Island) with Aeropostal or other Ven airline.
So a the $192.00 fare is: MIA/BAQ/MIA is probably little more than $300 still a very good price. For the Colombians that can least afford the prices Avianca is very high. A flight to Cancun from Baq-Cancun is $1200...ridiculous

I just went to Avianca's website and it says roundtrip is 30,000 miles between Zone 1 and 2 which is Miami and Colombia....

Don't where the 18,000 came from maybe one way

After traveling many flights I have to say all around with everthing for Miami Medellin flights including mileage program and service and times of flights.. American is number 1....Shit you must fly and hell of alot to be AA Platinum at least 20,000 dollars a year...I am AA Gold and spend alot....I use to fly Copa but getting annoyed sitting in the Panama Airport and also One pass miles are difficult to use with Copa from Miami on economy seats..only the 60,000 Easy pass seats..and Avianca has only one early afternoon flight per day to Medellin from MIA so American is it....
