I need two award tickets and purchase 2 tickets. The travel agent told me it is too early to purchase the tickets since the price still high.

Any suggestion appreciated.

Thanks

I tried June 26-July 30 and found 2 coach BOS-SHA as standard award for 60k each. But I am a Gold with increased availability.

I also tried same dates without elite status and the above trip requires RULEBUSTER (double miles--- OUCH).

If you have no status, I found that return July 29 would be good for 2 standard awards in coach but outbound June 20-June 30 BOS-SHA there is NO standard award on coach. Then you need 90k each for mixed award.
