I am looking primarily for oneway redemptions. Could that be the problem?
As with life, you get out of it what you put into it. I booked a flight to Bali in March on EVA and now I need to book a flight from Bali in March. United has options with 12 hour layovers in Houston but LifeMiles does not. LifeMiles limits domestic layover to 4 hours. An email with a bunch of screen shots might fix the issue. Ultimately I will search and search and might end up using AA miles to book Cathay Pacific home for 70K. I don't like to use AA miles due to the difficulty to acquire AA miles. I don't have much of an issue acquiring LifeMiles miles.
