So what is your point? That LM shows AV195 to go SJO - LHR while in reality it is a SJO - BOG flight?

It maybe a new encounter for you, but this has been happening for a while and been reported on other threads (I think the "LM booking problems beware one" IIRC). Happens with other carriers too and my guess would be the website mixes up stuff maybe after a lot of varying searches (smart search vs. single carriers etc.) have been executed.Very odd and confusing, I agree, but it seems to sort itself in ticketing though with LM you never know. YMMV.

.
I suspect that the OP's point is that LM is offering an Economy Class award ticket to LHR for more than twice the cost (in miles) of a Business Class award ticket.

I have seen something like this recently occur on redemptions on Amtrak trains. I suppose that it all depends on how heavily or lightly each class is booked. But I cannot imagine ever paying more to fly trans-Atllantic in Economy versus Business.

Ahh, thank you, that even slipped past me. An odd one for sure, but with LM website and booking engine it is never a dull moment.

The problem I mentioned can also confuse the heck out of people when suddenly an airline supposedly operates a certain flight between two cities that you know they do not. YMMV.
