NOTE: This thread has been superseded by the thread entitled LM F and J routes (and the occasional trick-it) Rebooted v2.0.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

USAirways was good, if you did all the footwork, I had good experiences booking with them. I have not dealt with Lifemiles call center yet.

1. I wasn't asking you.
2. You obviously didn't understand the request based on your reply.

This is FT and a forum for us all, maybe you should perhaps try the bloggers.

I was referring to your response. If you're so offended by my request, then I wasn't asking you.

As one who DOES understand the request, I would politely tell you no. I don't have access to it, I don't want access to it, and I don't NEED access to it.

Thank you.

I don't get the programming reference.

Either way, as someone PMed me, if I just ask for a route, people will maybe help me....

I'm NY based and looking for a place to go with the family in Summer 2014. Prefer either Western Europe, or somewhere that speaks English (I know, I know) or maybe Eastern Asia.

Thanks

People are helpful here, this is true and I'm all for it.. I just think that spreadsheet is bad news. There has to be a balance with obscurity and innovation in LM..

I think our little LM forum is going to get a little more busy since UA just devalued their award chart. Looking like LM might now be #1 in *A for redemptions...even with it's silly rules...that is unless they match UA.
