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).

Heads Up!! I am aware of an internal UA communication that recently went out to UA airport station managers to scrutinize ALL tickets with a final destination of CANDY!

Ok getting flooded with PM's... This is what I know from a friend who works for UA at HNL airport. The message specifically references an incident at LAX. Also references ticket issued in 202 (TACA) stock.

Nothing surprising there... That's the consistent behaviour.

They did not fix the pricing of that place, why are you mentioning it by name? It's still just 12.5 and still serves sushi. Checked just now. Please edit.

I know. The point is that there's still something special about the place, and kitty should still work for your kind, so it may be best to not speak the name regardless of context.

Nope, kitty no longer works for your or my kind. Log in and see for yourself it no longer populates.

Well, it's like the saying goes, there is no "we" in "Lifemiles"

Is there a risk of denied boarding for baby boomers?
