weird no blogger has picked up on this yet... that will be the quick end of LM and its gaps.
Anyone know which loyalty program manages LM for Avianca/TACA?

Well, let's keep talking in code. The bloggers are quite daft and usually don't bother doing their own research.
Right now there are only four or five such oddities I think.

Am I missing something here?
I book on Copa in L bucket. If I credit the miles to United or Copa I receive 100%.
If I credit the miles to Lifemiles I receive 25%
Is this a fantastic program?

Looks like a great program. I have 2 questions:
* are you able to redeem tickets for family members?
* if so, for those who have done redemptions - do you need to input the passenger's passport number and/or expiry date during the redemption booking process?

When redeeming tickets, it will ask you for the passenger details during the process; so I guess yes?
It does ask for the passport number, I believe, but not the expiry date. Not sure how much it matters, though.

are there any details on stop-over rules?
mixed cabin flights (i.e. HKT (only business available) - BKK (First)- SYD)) do not seem to be bookable (at least online)?

The award redemption chart is now online

To remember: You need at least 40% of the total miles of the trip then you can pay the rest with cash (1K for 12,5 USD)

Did anyone work out yet whether you are allowed a couple of days stopover on a *A award ticket booked with LifeMiles?
I want to go Miami - Zurich - Shanghai | Shanghai - Toronto - Miami
It is only 65,000 miles but can I have a cheeky weekend in Zurich?

my first redemption with using lifemiles;
KTM-BKK-ICN-TAS (I Know its a very long route, but this seemed the only possible way using star alliance carriers.)
7500 lifemiles + $143 cash + $34 taxes. booked online in Business class.
I presume it is not a bad deal at all.
