Was provided 30k miles for each of 5 people in family due to debacle June 27, when entire trip to Ireland was canceled. Each member of family had these miles deposited to their United accounts. I am trying to book a business class ticket, however, transferring the difference to their accounts, or their 30k points to my account to book a 61k business class is going to cost over $1,000. Is there any work around to accomplishing this booking without having to shell out a grand? Can I book the flights economy fare, then later use my points to increase teh fare to business? Mind you, they are minors.
