Congrats for that.
One quick question: did you consider convert miles to BA and redeem for AS flights? Won't need those family pooling documents and you would be able to finish everything online. Was it an availability issue? It would be the same 25k if you find any nonstop flights.
Oh, if you depart from EUG, not PDX, then never mind. There's no direct from EUG.. would have cost more miles through BA.
