Thanks Channa! I booked her on 8/3 out & 8/24 return using 60K DL miles (she's ex-NYC) LGA-MSP-NRT-LAX-JFK
I've got an award on NW on hold for 8/3-8/17 for EWR-MSP-NRT in NW Y & NRT-IAH-DTW-EWR on CO/NW BF/F for 90K - I hope she doesn't want this award as I don't want to blow 90K right now!
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
