I would love to at least fly them from the west coast to Hawaii first class. That flight from the east coast about killed my husband and me years ago! Here is our miles/points balances:
UR points; husband 221,000; me 123000
MR points: me 53000
UA miles: husband 60000: me 87000
AA miles: husband 110000 me 67000
We have a few thousand points in Marriott, Hilton, SPG and IHG but nothing significant.
ALL suggestions appreciated. I've booked flights for my son with my AA miles but not sure if it's that easy with UA miles? My son also has the AA card and has around 50,000 miles himself. He's young so that's his first mileage/points card.
TrAnsfer your UR to UA. You will have enough to get them Everyday F seats returning from Hawaii. Use your AA miles to get them to Hawaii in economy. They are young Nd resilient so daytime Y flight will be a breeze.
