A few months I posted a Youtube video on my channel on how to use Lifemiles to buy relatively cheap Star Alliance Business Class tickets. Lifemiles is very attractive for purchasing Star Alliance tickets because they often run bonus promotions, and the required award miles are attractively priced. Till December 31st, Lifemiles is running another promotion where the bonus miles can up to to 160%. Time to review the LifeMiles awards again!
LifeMiles Experience
Initially I was very reluctant buying, and using LifeMiles myself. This was mainly caused by the bad press; the website wasn’t very user-friendly, the call center was a disaster, and getting the final award ticket issued was often a problem. However, a few months ago I still decided to try it out for myself and I made a Youtube video of that experience. Bottomline; it wasn’t easy to get the reservation approved and get the ticket issued, but in the end everything worked out and I managed to get a Turkish Airlines Business Class ticket for the price of a basic economy class ticket. So it was really worth it.
My first experience with LifeMiles was especially difficult because I wasn’t able to book the award ticket via the website. I had to resort to the call center which made things complex and annoying. However, recently I booked another Business Class ticket with LifeMiles (for Swiss Airlines), and this time I was able to do everything on the website! And that made the whole experience very smooth and easy. So it seemed only the first time, it’s difficult getting a ticket issued via LifeMiles.
Conclusion
At the moment, you can again buy LifeMiles with an attractive bonus. Please use this link to take advantage of this promotion.
Using LifeMiles, you can buy Star Alliance Business Class Tickets for prices often less than basic economy class tickets.
Also have a look at my YouTube video where I explain in detail how buying Lifemiles and using Lifemiles works. Again, the first time was painful, but after that I was always able to do everything via the website!
