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).

This is truly fascinating and quite a bit of help. Thank you! Are there other parts of the website that can be "manipulated" or are you limited to things that have drop-down menus?
Yes, you can just use firebug or inspector in firefox / chrome to change the value of the option in the select drop down, e.g. in chrome, on the search page, right click on the time drop down and select "inspect element"
Then expand the "select" tag and double click on one of the values, e.g. the "1500" and change it to to the time you want, e.g. "1800" (for 6pm).
Finally, simply select that drop down option before running the search ...

Could someone pretty please, PM me with some of the details of this program?
I've picked up a few hints about what's going on with this program, and was thinking of booking some Europe-Asia travel next year. Would also appreciate anything about getting first class to Europe more than 14 days in advance!
