Can't we simply cover the difference with cash? The united booking page doesn't indicate this to me anywhere.....
Also....having just joined the United mileage program specifically for this trip - are there any ways to get more miles credited for our Maui trip?
What are my options? Thanks
Can you provide details for dates/airports you are looking for? It is possible that you could get one free ticket and purchase the second for far less than the cost to buy miles - or possibly even get 1.5 tickets, so that you only need to purchase a one-way. No way to tell without details.
