Anyway I agree with satz on this one, try both the United and DL sites for award travel. United will charge $25-75 for a last minute booking unless you're 1k/Platinum.

You could transfer your Amex points to Air France and fly both of you for 187.5k miles and $1,297.10 in fees. Most people on this blog would consider that a pretty poor value for your points, but if it's gotta be Paris, and gotta be that weekend, it might make sense vs. purchasing the tickets.

He could also transfer his UR to Korean and book AF through there if there's availability on AF via KE.
