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've also found C1 to C1 via C2 priced o/w at 12.5K in J
I call it the "Boomerang" trick

(but if you really found J for 12.5K, I'm humbly giving you the naming ownership.)
LH630 earlier "re-discovered" one of the boomerangs - the "C2W Phenomenon" - but thankfully removed that post. ^

I'm actually booked out of LAX on Hello Kitty to gummy bear (booked before everything went wonky) and didn't even think of cabotage. Was planning on getting off and taking a flight to BKK. What are my chances of the airline letting me board? Looks like I might be canceling...

I bet he ment Y. If you have a look at the award chart:

There is no C Award for 12,500. :-)

That's why I asked the question. Because for me it was impossible.
