I am finalizing my April/May 2025 Asia trip and used LifeMiles to book ANA business class from Beijing (PEK) to Tokyo (HND). I found LifeMiles to be the cheapest compared to both Aeroplan and ANA Mileage Club (see images below).
Aeroplan Booking
ANA Mileage Club One-way Booking
ANA Mileage Club finally allowing one-way award bookings, but the prices are high on their own metal.
United Mileage Plan
LifeMiles Booking
On LifeMiles, the cost of a one-way business class flight was just 19K points and was a no-brainer after a 10% Star Alliance discount (see image below).
Cost of the flight with cash
I paid 34K points for two business class seats and the cash value was around $2400 USD (see image below).
Conclusion
I have been a subscription member of LifeMiles for a while (review) and I continue to enjoy the 10% Star Alliance discounts along with free award booking changes and cancellations. LifeMiles may not publish a fixed award chart, but remains very competitive compared to other Star Alliance partners.
