My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to New York. I have enough miles in my USAir Dividend Miles account for one ticket, but I need 50,000 miles for hers. Her dad has about 200,000 AAdvantage miles that are expiring this year. I would imagine the rate of exchange would be about 1:1 between AA and US, but I'm not sure.

Any ideas of the best way to transfer some of her dad's AA miles to my US account? I was looking at transferring through HHonors, but I would end up spending about 166,666 AA miles in the conversion.

Thanks!
