I am a bit stumped on this one :
Able to do a one-way J class award from Europe to US going via Asia, however unable to do the reverse (ie : US to Europe via Asia). The interesting thing is that KVS and ANA both confirm availability on the US-Europe and Europe-Asia legs just like it does on the Europe to US trip, however the LM.com engine does not pull it up as an option even if I select a specific carrier.
Anyone got this to work?

I tried forcing a carrier as well as leaving it open - but no luck. It's from Seattle to Frankfurt. Able to get Frankfurt to Seattle via NRT without forcing a carrier

Look for FRA-SEA on Dec 28 - you get the via NRT route as the first result without forcing a carrier. It's coming up as mixed carriers now, but earlier it was available on NH all the way

I'm guessing it's another glitch. Because there isn't any space on the 28th, so Lifemiles does ajsdofijdofisjdf and pulls up a random routing. BTW is the space on the 28th LH F on UA.com phantom? LM isn't showing it.

Why I always receive:
Sorry, There was problem while processing your transaction
Is there any problems about lifemiles.com?

I got that when I tried to book an ex-MNL flight. I suspect in my case that it was to do with the complications of issuing tickets from the Philippines rather than anything generic with LifeMiles.com.

I'm getting this on Firefox for the last few weeks. Works fine on Chrome, so I'm guessing its cookies on Firefox, but can't be bothered to clear mine.

I was seeing FRA-SEA on the 28th in F on ua.com. But it didn't show up on LM. I don't know if the space is still there... so is it phantom? Shouldn't be, right?

Other than the known routing the long way "trick" are there other such circuitous routes possible for lower mileage? Looking specifically to/from US. I have a few tricks that I already have which I am happy to share. Feel free to PM me!

There are numerous, I think I stopped counting at 35. There are quite a few that do involve the US, coming and going
