Hi all,

This is probably a silly question, considering how much I fly, but I have never booked award travel before...

I am taking my family (2 adults, 1 2yo) to Orlando from Des Moines on September 29-Oct 6. I attempted to book this using points on Northwest, but there are segments that are firstclass only so it is costing me about 45K per person. I know I can get tickets for about $300 per person because there are coach seats available. Apparently, I just can't get onto those seats with awards travel. Does anyone have any other suggestions for how I can make this trip inexpensive?

TIA

AJ
