I am fortunate that it’s now my full-time job to work on Seats.aero, but we still have no employees aside from my wife, who does customer support.

There’s a lot of reasons we had to remove LifeMiles, including instability of their system and hostility towards us. We might eventually convert other *A availability into LM availability based on what we know about their award chart and routing rules, but it’s a bit weird to do it. We could eventually bring LM support back, but I just don’t see the value given the lack of unique availability.
