*EDIT* False alarm. I just pulled up the old old search engine for some reason... sorry for the worry!

Friends, it looks like one of the main remaining benefits of bookings with Lifemiles has come to an end. I checked today and there looks to be a new search engine, which you must choose booking class. If you choose Business Class and find a mixed-class itinerary, now you will pay the same as a booking the higher booking class, which is now in line with other frequent flyer programs. So booking Y-J award now costs the same amount of Lifemiles as J-J.

See for yourselfs on the Lifemiles website. If anyone finds a workaround please let us know, thanks!
