Need suggestion on award redemption to India

Hi,

Here is the situation. Person A will be traveling DEL-PHX-DEL and person B will be joining A on the PHX-DEL route (one-way), sometime this May-June. I can see economy seat availability for all segments on United.com.

I have 120k+ US air miles and Amex MR each. And only 100k+ Chase UR points (ruling out the possibility of booking 3 OW tickets for 120K united miles). If I book a RT using US miles (for A) and one OW using Chase->United miles (for B), I am not sure if I can get both A and B on the same flight on the PHX-DEL route; seems risky.

What would be the best way to tackle this? I am not sure how to use MR points in this situation. I have almost 190k AA miles but that's not very useful in this case, is it? Any suggestion/help is appreciated.

Thanks
