am i reading you correctly?....

2 paid tickets are $925....

2 award tickets are 80,000 mi.[40k each]

you have 45k, she has 35k...

why not xfer 5k to her?.....should be much cheaper than $525...~$150?....good use of the mi now rather than in 4 yrs when you might fly again...

if the awards are available, book em....you should be able to hold them while the mi's xfer....

good luck...
