Testing to see if Eric gets an email. BTW I think your issue with copy/paste not working may be browser dependent…Firefox doesn’t pick up any metadata for me so I usually highlight and use keyboard shortcuts, but Chrome seems to (not sure, I don’t use normally use it).

Yes, I did. Interestingly, it is slightly different wording than when someone writes my guest #. It shows “Your Comment has been mentioned”.
BTW, I do use Chrome probably 99% of the time.
can anyone comment on the taxes and fees? i feel these are extremely important and like nobody on any forum website ever talkes bout…they just take bout the ammount of miles it takes but not fees in details which i think are very important. i find AA to have some of the lowest award fees in my experience for example.
Lifemiles taxes and fees are ok. Not terrible. Beware the cancellation fees though, that’s where they get you.
If you are buying a Colombia domestic flight the taxes are super cheap, akin to US domestic. It is only like $10 in taxes (the cents will change based on the airports. PEI-BOG is $10.15, AXM-BOG is $10.40, you get the idea). The problem is that you’ll get a pretty basic redemption rate (under $0.015/mile).
If you are buying US-Colombia international flights you will get some of the best rates in the business for economy, $0.02-$0.03/mile. The taxes are affordable flying into Colombia, but expensive flying back to the US. For example, JFK to BOG charges $47.80 in taxes, but BOG to JFK charges $120.61 in taxes – all those TSA, 911 fees. It’ll vary a little bit here and there depending on US destination, but overall, it’s high taxes for the way back.
You can do some mock bookings on their site to see the taxes. Pretty easy.
thanks everyone! wish there was a list with all of them listed etc fees and award redemptions economy business etc in detail
I used LifeMiles to fly on SwissAir from Zurich to MIA. I think it cost around $150 in taxes/fees, which is similar to Air France/KLM Flying Blue. There was a cancellation fee where I was willing to just lose the miles if I had to cancel. Also, they were charging $33/year to prevent the miles expiring. I quickly looked for any award flights between MIA and Europe when I found the one on SwissAir. I booked that trip just to avoid paying the yearly fee.
I’ve found AA to be the best for international award flights. Almost no carrier imposed fees and no cancellation fees.
