Oh! I have a completely redesigned screen. Gone are the tabs with Y/J/F and the mileage with radio buttons underneath, and in is a length-wise table listing all the options including the ability to mix and match classes (for different prices) on each leg of the journey. You can also simply click on new dates now using a scroll feature at the top of the results page. I don't know how to attach a picture though.

Its cheaper for me to buy a Business cabin ticket from Europe to Asia and earn miles instead of buying Lifemiles and then booking it. Useless value for now.

How strange. I've just logged back in and, yes, its all changed. It wasn't like that when I checked after your post yesterday?!?

This is interesting though...

Edited - I notice the new award booking tool on LM... when did that start?? (And does that mean anything for screenshots?)
Wow, where did you hear this rumor? That would also be the last straw for me, unless of course they fixed all their website booking issues.

It was in one of the threads here on FT. There are several regarding the use of LM and one of them mentioned that screen-shot days might be numbered. I have no idea as to the accuracy, however it makes sense the airline would be trying to get rid of them.

The new layout seems to appear when you select "Star Alliance" in the search

Danger Danger ! I almost got screwed by SQ Phantom availability. It will error out when trying to book. It's not just LM that has this issue, AC and several other *A programs also have it.
