NOTE: This thread has been superseded by the thread entitled LM F and J routes (and the occasional trick-it) Rebooted v2.0.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

I know this question comes up once in a while, but has anyone successfully booked mixed classes? Someone is claiming he booked mixed F+J on a certain route, but I'm not sure if it's with LM or something else.

Long time reader, but I rarely post. Finally have some data to contribute.
Recently pulled off the Chiclet and I think the pineapple was on the menu (not sure what it was called through the translation). Also was able to change my flight the day before using the first leg carrier only for no fee, but it was special circumstances in the morning following the Asiana crash and I was flying through SFO.
PM for more details as I don't want to expose anything with my bad terminology.

Its been a great read. I think the coding makes people who truely want to know or get help...prove it. Its not hard to figure out with a quick Google and some common sense.
Its like in the FD thread..everyone just expects it to be posted in the clear open..and as we have seen that kills things fast.
Thanks for the good info in here everyone.
