Hi

First let me tell you that I have read these boards for close to 2 years trying to become educated. You guys are amazing. The mileage runs are so interesting for me to read. Amazing.

Second. I can usually find answers to my questions by using the search feature. This time I am in a quandary.

My oldest son has been chosen to be a Rotary Ambassador to Japan. I need some creative thinking on how to afford to get him there.

I have:

American Express Rewards = 48,584
USAir Dividend Miles = 12,680
USAir Awarded Tickets = 200,000. (I had 4 FC tickets AVP-YVR, but got air from PHL to SEA for $200 will rebank)

I need:
A ticket that the date of return can be changed in case of an emergency.

I would like:
A seat that he does not have his knees in his ears.

With what I have, what would be my best course of action?

Thanks for any ideas y'all may have! If this is posted to the wrong place, let me know where to post it.

Thank you
Pennamom

forgot to add, he will fly from any of the following NYC/EWR/PHL/SYR
