I had them redeposit miles. Now stuck between proverbial rock and hard place.... with Dad's ALS progressing Oct is not the time to take a week off and travel (would rather be with him). (and try and explain to sis that I should be in Moscow rather than going to see Dad). Now- Dad not happy with me, wants to make sure I use his miles to go there.....
You could try moving the trip up into September, August, or even July, or take it as scheduled in October. I know how much it means to your Dad that you do this - it is also important to him that you come back and share your experiences with him. I wouldn't worry about Sis too much - try to explain it to her, but if you can't, just ignore and go anyway. You'll have plenty of opportunities in the future to make Sis happy.
