Avianca is introducing new LifeMiles shorthaul awards for intra-U.S. flights. Given that there aren’t a whole lot of options for great deals on shorthaul flights (especially on United), this is fantastic news. In addition to already preferring to collect miles with StarAlliance airlines, here are 3 reasons I am super excited for these new LifeMiles awards:

LifeMiles shorthaul awards start at 7,500 miles…including connections!

This is the biggest benefit of the new chart. Avianca has broken the U.S. up into 3 regions, aptly named U.S. 1, 2, and 3. Any flights that are intra-zone only cost 7,500 miles each way! This even includes connections.

Also note that awards between U.S. 1 and U.S. 2 only cost 10,000 miles…
