Region definitions
C1 North America
C1.5 Caribbean, Bermuda
C2 Europe
C2.5 Middle East
C3 Asia
C4 South America
C5 Africa
C6 Oceania
2X, 3X: in the context of this LifeMiles thread, 2X and 3X refer to any 2nd and 3rd legs of a one-way award ticket.
LifeMiles' Star Alliance Award Chart
Cash & Miles redemptions: buying the max (60%) isn't always the best deal (unless you're purchasing all miles right there). Check here for the best CPM.
Beware of Cabotage: LifeMiles has been known to issue tickets that constitute Cabotage, and at least one instance of denied boarding has been reported, stranding the passenger. An easily-seen example is travel on Copa from LAX to SJU (via PTY).

I only come up with one city in C1, are there others?
edit: found more
The visa bothers me, too much stress. Starting point might be around the corner for some and if it is not, well, then it makes for a nice trip anyway!

OK, I'm trying to pay my dues by looking at all the *A routes using LM from C1 and having read over 1,000 posts from FT. Have found a couple of places that sound interesting but am getting the dreaded catpcha on multiple browsers using LM. Any ideas how to get rid of it (i.e., have tried clearing browser history)?
clear cache and use a proxy if you have one. you can also use a second account

That doesn't work for me. I've tried clearing my cache, using a different browser, getting a new IP...nothing. It's like the block is tied to the account. Only a different account helps out.
Good that there's no limitation on max. accounts you can have.

LM is keeping me away from "working". Anyone else having trouble accessing LM.com?

I'm booked on C2-C3 for 25k in C and have never been this disappointed about flying an Airbus A380.
A week earlier this route would be operated by a 747-8i!
vs.
But there are ways to get that A380 C seat flat
