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'm a bit confused about clumping what you do and the understanding. So everyone here understands the code? Well I guess it's popular sovereignty and everyone is free to do as they wish. ^

All the errors will be corrected eventually, it's just a matter of time. It's taking a long time indeed, which confirms that the answer to the question I've been repeatedly asked "do you think LM staff are idiots?" is a resounding YES. I mean, if we - having access to just what they make publicly available - were able to find some three dozen (and counting) "inaccuracies", some gross, then anyone with a little brains and direct access to the database could see it all in 30 minutes of simple SQL querying.

The great discovery you posted was around for a while, discovered by those who downloaded the destinations list and anlaysed it. LM probably never noticed because no one booked anything to/from that destination because no *A partner flew there in the first place. Just like the Munich of the east this one will be discovered too when 000s pile on to book cheap tickets
