But I must use all of my UA miles and cover the shortfall using US miles. So can I call both one after the other? Would it still be the same round trip itinerary as GrethchenJ was asking? (good question there, GretchenJ) When I call UA, wont they ask me what I am going to do about the shortfall? If they wont give me a complete reservation, how can I then go to US Air agent to apply the US miles to the same booking to make it complete?
