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).

If you have an iPhone for a nominal sum you can buy an app called MyFlights that will automatically alert you to any changes made to your booking. Not sure if it's available for Android.

So I'm guessing the Chainsaw has run out of gas?

Hopefully the chainsaw is in the shop temporarily, getting sharpened.
It was quite fun cutting all the way through to the end.

i know someone upthread stated that things are back to normal, just far fewer availability. However, i still cant find anything at all. Can someone confirm that chainsaw and gummy is still alive?

I still can not tell why you can still connect chainsaw and gummybear and get results. Or Chainsaw and another tricked C1 Airport in C3.
