If needing a seat, then rather than use miles for one of the adults, purchase 1 x r/t $800 adult ticket plus 1 x approx $80 r/t infant ticket for a total of about $880
or , of course purchase the miles needed at $764.39 - but I would suggest that buying ticket rather than miles would be much better value
sorry, not following. If we need to get him a seat, Youre saying we buy one adult r/t at 800. How exactly would the 80 r/t come up for the kid? We want him to have a seat, so that would be 800x2 plus my award fare.
