I’ve tried setting an alert for NRT-SFO for July 10, 2022 for biz and f, and it comes back as a route you don’t check. Your list had it searched for 45 days out.

Great catch, I have added BOS/MUC as well as CLT/MUC. I also just built and released a region filter, which should make it easier to add more routes. Added some more Asia routes to start.
The other constraint with adding new routes is that it slows down tracking other routes, unless I make it look for availability faster (which could get it banned). It should be fine for now.

Thanks, added.
This seems to work for me; I suspect there might have been a space or something before/after the airport codes. I added something to trim any unnecessary spaces from those fields, so it should hopefully work now!

I just have to say I think your award finder is a real game changer with Lifemiles. Thank you so much!
Just wondering if it’s not too much trouble, would you be able to add Vancouver air Canada routes? I know they have some availability to Australia, can’t recall if they’re back flying to New Zealand. eg YVR-BNE or AKL. I see you have YVR-SYD.
Otherwise I’m still super happy with your search tool.

I've just been through some of the Asia to North America routes and found some extras that weren't listed currently:
NRT- ORD, IAH, JFK
HND- SEA, ORD, YVR
KIX- SFO
ICN- SEA
HKG- YVR, SFO
TPE- LAX, SFO, SEA, IAH, ORD, YVR, JFK
SIN- LAX, SEA
Oceania to North America:
BNE- YVR with Air Canada
AKL- HNL, LAX, YVR, ORD, IAH, JFK (This feels like a joke as Air NZ rarely releases award seats but they have had some rewards and was literally the reason I signed up to Lifemiles - cheaper to buy LM vs using our own airpoint dollars or crossing fingers for upgrades to come through)
Asia - Oceania
AKL- SIN, TPE, HKG, ICN, NRT, PVG, DPS (DPS is a seasonal route)
BKK - SYD, BNE, AKL
SYD- HND
TPE- BNE
SIN- BNE, MEL, ADL, PER, CNS (CNS is around 6h45 with narrow body but lieflat seats, Perth is >5h with widebody lieflat)
I have to agree with elusive1... it's incredibly easy to use and I think the value is obvious. Good luck with it whatever you decide!
Thank you again.

I have also added several new features to the routes page; you can search for a specific route, or click on the airport codes to search for flights departing from that specific airport.
Additionally, the table now sorts a bit smarter and sorting for a cabin class shows direct flights above connecting flights.
