NOTE: This thread has been superseded by the thread entitled LM F and J routes (and the occasional trick-it) Rebooted v2.0. Please follow the discussion there.

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).

Yup. US has allowed people to book this in the past and they have been IDB.

I know this has been discussed prior - but just bear with me nonetheless:

Anyone knows when LH is cutting its 1st class service on FRA-BKK route?

Is C3-C1 just the reverse of C1-C3 or should I be looking for something else?

One of them is just a reverse, another one is not.

So, if I am reading all of this correctly, a Ticket issued from Country AAA-BBB-CCC is a legal ticket, even though AAA and CCC are on the same continent?

Thanks!

With apologies - i am sure this has been asked and answered. now that united appears to be back online, i see some availability (Especially in first and business) which is available on the united award site but is not available on the lifemiles site). If I call avianca can they book this for me, or is that a waste of time?

Waste of time. Been said many times. WYSIWIG.

Where did you get the idea from that this has anything to do with continents?

So in other words AAA-BBB-CCC is fine or is not?

Website is down for maintenance. Just as I was going to book my C1-C3 flight. I really hope when it comes back up nothing changes.
