Does this mean that the seats that EF show is only for redemption using LX miles? Or is it supposed to be Star Alliance award bookings too?

As noted on the results page of our Award & Upgrade search:
**NOTE** The Award & Upgrade information is only valid for flights flown on the searched airline (not code shares) and only when using miles/points/certificates from the searched airline, not partner airlines.
So there is a good possiblity that US doesn't have access to the same LX award availability that LX gives to it's own frequent flyers.
