If you have UA miles, you can also use them for 10K for a round-trip, or 5K for a one-way.
Thanks for the reply. ^
I'm definitely coughing up the cash. The waiting game does not sound good. Only other option would be to use NWA miles.
I can book the flights I need on HA for 15K RT. I think the tiks come to a little over $160 each on HA. Seems like the $160 is the way to go.
