You’re almost there then. You can buy an MVP instant fare (Y or S), use your GGU for your companion on one direction, buy 11,000 miles and use miles for the other direction.

Just need to find a RT with U=2 or more.

ETA: do look at cash fares on AS and other airlines. Transcon Y or S probably won’t be cheap and the 11,000 miles (to top up for a 15k mileage upgrade) will run at least $220.
