combining points usage with normal paid flights

Hello. flying with a family of 5 isn't cheap so I use perks whenever possible. I have enough points for one way after my last usage of points. the family doesn't have enough points yet on their names. so I would like to use points for one way, pay for way back and pay normally for rest of family. is it easiest to just do it seperately, then have it all joined on one reservation? please help. Thank you!

I would do them all separate.  Use your points for all one way tickets.

 

Good Luck!

Hi @nb3192,

 

You'll end up having to make the reservations separately because a reservation can't be paid partially in points and partially in cash/credit. Make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions, and happy travels with your family!
