For all the gurus out there....what is the best way to use my miles/upgrades?
I have 312,000 miles, I am platinum, and I have 48 500mile upgrades
I want to go DFW-OGG nonstop on the 767 in first class (2-class airplane). I have 3 in my party. Since one is a minor at least 2 must be booked together (1adult and 1minor) but the other adult doesn't necessarily have to be booked on the same reservation or in huge same manner. We do want to sit together...with guaranteed first class seats.
Our travel dates are early June 2015.
5 years ago, I snagged the 2 plan aheads and bought one coach ticket and used miles and money to upgrade that third ticket. Plan aheads are just too hard to come by now..And we are outside the 330 day window.
I am looking for the least cost money-wise. What do you all think?
