Lifemiles is not good with subsiduary airlines of *A carriers. They also only load airports to their system associated with specific carriers...and often don't update this when an airline announces a new route. So while Olympic Air might be possible to book via a different *A program, I think you're out of luck here.

or, book separate tickets to Athens and look for award space from Athens onwards.
It is after all lifemiles, so you get what you get!
welcome to the program.

OK, that's good info but why won't PAE decode when United is selected? That doesn't sound like a SkyWest issue.

Why don't the flights show up with smart search? Most likely becasue they are operated by Skywest.

...and in case I didn't answer your question. LM loads airport codes against airline. So using smart search you should get the full list of airports. By selecting an airline to narrow the search, you only get the list of airports that LM believes that airline operates to, regardless of whether it is complete or correct.
