One more annoying thing that happens when your results finally load is that there will be two check boxes 'Star Alliance' and 'Airline' and both are not checked by default so make sure both are checked. <-- this is when your results are loaded
I've experienced the differences of "smart" search, *A and airline before too. I'm mostly only seeing 'Star Alliance' at the top of the search results, without the 'Airline' option. Depends on route.
However, the site has changed since yesterday. Economy still works as usual. Business still displays the new 'More fare options' link. However, instead of doing nothing at all, it now redirects to 'https://morefares.lifemiles.com/#/lifemiles-travel?payload=[extremely long string]', which is a blank screen. In case it was a browser issue, I tried the LM app. It does the same!
ETA: Does 'More fare options' do anything for anyone? Is it South American/region-specific/etc?
