I.E a card with 25k miles in her name and then we share miles or a quick way for me to earn an extra 25k miles. I am new to the FF programs so any help appreciated. Also I hope this is in the right thread.
Are you going to Europe in the peak season and returning in the off-peak season? Or are you you going off-peak and returning peak? If the roundtrip is costing 50,000 miles, it must be one or the other, since an off-peak one-way is 20,000 miles, and a peak one-way is 30,000 miles. If you are departing during peak season, there may be an inexpensive way of getting the lower, off-peak rate, depending on how close you are to a North American gateway city. Gives us some more details (where you are starting from, when you will be traveling), and maybe we can find a workaround.
