Region definitions
C1 North America
C1.5 Caribbean, Bermuda
C2 Europe
C2.5 Middle East
C3 Asia
C4 South America
C5 Africa
C6 Oceania
2X, 3X: in the context of this LifeMiles thread, 2X and 3X refer to any 2nd and 3rd legs of a one-way award ticket.
LifeMiles' Star Alliance Award Chart
Cash & Miles redemptions: buying the max (60%) isn't always the best deal (unless you're purchasing all miles right there). Check here for the best CPM.
Beware of Cabotage: LifeMiles has been known to issue tickets that constitute Cabotage, and at least one instance of denied boarding has been reported, stranding the passenger. An easily-seen example is travel on Copa from LAX to SJU (via PTY).

Well you are the first. I don't think I will believe this till I hear some more success stories. Don't get me wrong I don't know you. We have just had so many people try that its very unlikely that you did.

Then please enlighten us by posting the details of your routing so we can judge for ourselves?
Most of us are a bit skeptical because we've heard this before but nobody has ever substantiated such a claim.....

Well, we all know that everything is (almost) possible. But it would be nice to see the actual mistery route.
