Based on my experimentation, it seems that LifeMiles can't see any business awards across the Atlantic or Pacific regardless of carrier. I am able to find transborder business class on AC, but not transatlantic or transpacific. Japan-Asia and Japan-Europe business class on NH, but nothing touching the US or Canada or Mexico. TK business class to Europe and Asia, but not transatlantic. No UA Polaris. Etc. Of course I am looking for flights that are bookable through UA, AC, etc.
Yup I see it back as well, and no price change compared to some that I booked in December ex-USA. Quick buy + burn on NH F is my only use of Lifemiles these days, so looks like I am in the clear.
Also DP: Was able to book CDG-HND and HND-FRA in J just now.
