Unfortunately, Lifemiles recently underwent a major devaluation.
That being said, there are still deals to be had, especially with a transfer bonus. For example, a business class award to Europe on United will cost 69.5K points with a transfer bonus. A flight to Zurich will cost just 23.9K in coach or 47.8K miles in business class!
