Miles - United is 25K miles + taxes seems the most reasonable so far but was wondering if there are any cheaper options.

e.g. Aeroplan only needs 20K miles but not sure about fuel surcharges.

I have enough miles in most major US carriers and also UR, MR and SP.

Any ideas would be welcome
Using Aeroplan you could get a direct flight on Asiana, which would be $180 per ticket.
