Hi All, I hope this is the correct place to post this...

Over Christmas week I have plans to go with my Girlfriend to Amarillo Texas and use my miles, but it costs 25k miles from NYC-AMA!! So i started looking around at the return trip the day after christmas and was trying to find fun ways to extend my miles from AMA with 25k miles to somewhere cool, and then find a way to return home.

Then i found it: AMA-DFW-NRT (Tokyo) for ONLY 25k Miles!!!!!

Now my problem: Getting back home!!

My issue: i want to use miles (less than 40k) or money (less than 500) to find a way to get back to New York by end of the weekend: giving me a great few days in Japan for next to nothing!

Any ideas would help!

thanks so much

Todd
