Unfortunately, that is part of the problem. I don't have the miles 27K per person + 125 per person. Can agents do anything for a buy not necessarily TOD? Buying 54K miles + 250 charge yields $2280 + cost of the ticket already. I could buy an FC tickets for cheaper. Well thank you all for your help, guess it is a lost cause. I will wait and see if buy up comes available.
