that is the best option from all suggestions. Pity you havent do it in advance. Or read your travel policy - my employer's travel policy explicitly prohibit using personal miles for business travel. if policy is silent, then it will really be up to yoyur manager whether to compensate you or not - it is your fault you havent asked for approval in advance, therefore a manager's right not to compensate you after the fact.
