Of course the math may not be this neat, but you should get the idea.

Finally, to make checking in easiest, have your sons account buy a grown up ticket and keep an adult and two kids on one reservation. Otherwise you’ll have to check in the kid at the counter on the day of departure to prove they aren’t an unaccompanied minor.
thats what im afraid off. Unfortunately, its 54k per ticket per way. I am using Delta for one way to EDI, so to book us 4, its 216. I may need to transfer 30 to each account. Not sure if it makes sense to transfer my sons 20k to my account, its about 200 bucks.
