Unless Diners and Hilton have just now changed their policies, neither of these is an option. As recently as yesterday, USAir miles could not be converted into either HHonors points or Diners Club rewards points. In fact I don't know any way to convert USAir miles. If anyone else does, I would like to hear about it.

You can do it through HHonors or Diners Club, but with substantial dilution. Mother may be better off taking a connecting flight through PHL or PIT on USAir.
