One way awards?
Is that possible? I called last night and was disappointed there were enough award seats on the flight there, but none on the flight back...
Can i use 7500 miles to book the one way? Or would this not be advantageous?

Unfortunately, thee is no "alternative." I am flying OAK-LGA and there are NO flights available on the day of and the days surrounding 6/29, when I would need to return. (I have to be in NY on 6/28).
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It seems the flight isn't even really booked, except for the award seats, which really is frustrating.

I understand. If the flight doesn't book up with revenue passengers (unlikely since most F9 flights in/out of LGA are very full), you might be able to find an award seat open up.
But on second thought, if the flight isn't too full, maybe you can buy a cheap ticket? Then you can save the miles for another possible trip when fares are much higher.

Is $325 or so a good price for a seat OAK-JFK? The main problem is, I had hope with 3 months advanced planning, I could get some award seating, as we have 4 passengers and I don't think our budget allows for 4 X $325.
Argh. This was all set as a gift for my parent'ts 30th anniversary gift, and now it's all going to heck. I thought I was being really forward thinking too! I guess other's are even more forward.
