Help please trying to book using mileage
I have looked at these forums for months and still a lot of what is posted I don't really understand.
I'm a single Mom on disability and don't travel very often but have approx. 70,000 miles from United (mostly credit cards) and American Express have approx. 50,000.
Need to go to LAXto NYC June 12,13 then would love to take a 5 day trip to somewhere in Carribean or Bahamas with my two daughters , then Florida (thinking about moving there cost of living in LA getting prohibitive) then back to LAX.
I am always reading posts that talk about stop overs and going to multiple places on one mileage ticket but can't get anything on Uniteds online site to work and when I call they are no help.
I did see a supersaver award to Philadelphia in my date ranges but can't seem to get further than that.I'm open to going to surrounding airports .
Am I dreaming here trying to accomplish this for 3 people on 120,000 miles?
Any suggestions or help would be so appreciated. Trip would be about 3 weeks total.
Thanks in advance
