A job change is taking me off the road and I have been using the miles I still have available to send my wife and her mother for a long weekend to see family in Cincinnati. I have enough miles left for one Award seat and then one paid seat. I am unable to find a way to book these together on .com so that they are on the same PNR. Should I just book separately and then call to have them merged?

BTW--A sincere thank you to all you road warriors here on FT. Can't tell you how much I have learned in my 6 years of living on the road.
