What I did was pull 2 one-way J awards, and then I purchased 2 Y tickets, and upgraded them to J with miles. All in total was just under $3K for the 4 of us. Guess what the blooming dog cost to ship?

Five grand.

I kept reminding my wife that she now owed me at least 5-years worth of sex credits but sadly her redemption desk is only ever open when there is a solar eclipse. Over Uzbekistan. In March.
Ouch...too funny Can't you use EK miles for the dog's flights???...how much would it cost to buy the same dog again in Denver? Reminds me of the time I told a work colleague it would be cheaper to buy a new dog than pay for her dog's hip operation....she didn't speak to me for months!!
