Welcome to my next trip report series, covering a brief journey to Geneva this spring. This wasn’t a ”traditional” review trip (where I flew just for the sake of reviewing airlines), but rather we needed to be in Europe for a wedding. Of course I still did my best to...

I actually do not think this pricing is a mistake. LifeMiles is aggressive in managing its pricing. There are some awards you'll find with other Star Alliance frequent flyer programs that LifeMiles won't show availability for. That's intentional. When an award is too expensive for their...
