It looks like points + pay redemptions also extend the validity of miles
Really?
That sounds almost too good to be true. Are you speaking from experience?
Points and pay for flights is my preferred way of using Lifemiles.
Thanks

And which airline that has first class "suites" on those routes can you book with Life Miles.
SQ-Cant get them now using KF miles.
ANA-Availability has really dried up recently.Was trying for LM awards on ANA for next sept/oct and not one on any day from any US airport.Previously could always get 2 F awards out of IAH.
The other Star airlines I really wouldn't consider suites.
I am out of LM game until availability consistently improves
You mean availability on *A in general or specifically with LM?
With LM specifically. Availability shows on United and Lufthansa nada on LM
I’m happy to be corrected because I haven’t searched every possible route but from what I’ve seen so far availability on LM should match what you’ll see on UA.
TG yes, but one major exception if LH F. Even if LH F is available daily on UA's tool, LM may only have patchy availability (like for example 3 days out of the week instead of 7).
LM is also not showing all SQ availability - for example out of CBR in April it is showing on UA but nothing on LM.
If so must be relatively recent change/glitch?
Last time I’ve searched and booked LH F in August availability was 1:1 on LM and I remember SQ288 was wide open not so long ago.
I do agree LM system is terrible and glitchy, however the screenshots method allows more “creative” routings that would not be possible on UA.
At least the last two+ years LH F ex USA hasn’t matched United’s availability. Unfortunately UA charges through the roof so LM is still my go to, but can be hard to find. In July this year LH to Asia wasn’t matching.
Ok make sense now. All my bookings were ex-Germany and availability was fine. What do you mean by high UA charge, isn’t it just 5k over LM for J (90k) and same in F (115k)?
ex USA UA charges 110k to europe... very expensive compared to LM’s 87k. Plus LM miles much cheaper than UA!
Just doing the math on that UA = USD2068 one way cf LM @ USD1170 one way. Huge difference (i buy IA miles at the 100% bonus which i think worked out at around 0.0188 cents each)
It's just part of their Black Friday Sale.Well that is interesting. Lots of sales too recently from LM for seat redemptions eg ICN to JFK reduced by about 20k points. Hopefully a glitch. I have to say you did well to get the seat. I am out of LM game until availability consistently improves
