Are you sure that these codes disappeared? Were they grouped or classified in the European or American zone? We´re talking about chinese codes, right? I decided to book smaller itineraries only here on LM, and more complicated ones with other airlines. Just to make sure that I can avoid the call-center,whenever it is possible. Do you think I could mention all itineraries on the phone or could it be sometimes better, not to mention some special ones, if you really want to book one of those?

I did a dummy run, they don't add tax for USA based accounts? But it shows as a purchase from Panama so attracts forex fees on certain cards including their own Lifemiles Visa from US Bank?
I'm not going to buy until the last minute, want to see how many miles I end up with from the shopping bonus first.

I've never been charged tax nor foreign transaction fee even when I use a card that normally charges an FTF.

Yeah, LM just can't book mixed cabins. Very frustrating indeed, kills a lot of awards where certain cabins just don't operate

So is the issue because of the mixed cabin? If I found availability from NRT-BKK-MAA in business, would they be able to issue it as 1 booking for 65k miles?

AFAIK you can't book Asia via Europe online, right? Needs to be via phone. And it can be done, right?
