- Try to fly standby anyway.
- Book positive space (with a discount?).
- Book positive space on another airline (with a discount?).
- Book a flight for my Business Extra account.
- Let me book a MileSAAver for him.
- Let me book a flight for him to earn for my Business Extra account.
His most cost-effective option is to have someone else secure a ticket for him.
It's very generous of you to offer to book a MileSAAver award ticket for him with your miles.
