Has anyone been able to get around booking routes not recognized by their website?
I cannot book LIS-ORD on TAP or FRA-AUS on LH even though ExpertFlyer, United and AirCanada confirm the space.
If I do a search by airline and select any of those routes, their website tells me the route is not serviced by the carrier.

But if the flights don't show at all, anywhere, nothing Lifemiles can do.

Unfortunately it's a case where something has to show on line for Lifemiles to book it. If the flights show by individual sectors, you can screenshot these and send them in and ask Lifemiles to contruct an end-to-end ticket for you.

I've tried getting flights that don't show on LM but no luck.

Is there any way to see what the variable cancel fee is for a route without transferring over the proper amount of miles from Amex? The swing from $50 to $200 is pretty wild and I'd like to know before locking in miles into my account.

Tickets within the same country: 50 USD
Tickets within the same region: 100 USD
Tickets touching two or more regions: 200 USD
Sometimes, tickets within the same region attract a 50 USD fee.
As a by the way, you should be transfering miles to LM with the full intention to use the itinerary as ticketed.
Furthermore, you can search on the website and even see the cancel fees without any miles in your account.
