USING 50,000 UNITED MILLAGE PLUS MILES
I would like to take my girlfriend on a trip some time after Christmas and New Year's of this year. I have 53,845 mies to use for our flight. She loves beach vacations, although I am not sure what my options are with 53,845 miles. Any ideas? We are open to buying one ticket and using miles for the other.

my wife and I both open FF CCs get the miles close the cards
get lots of miles rarely pay for air that way...
We did this with AA got 2 free Transatlantic Last
You will have to play around on United.com
there are several tiers book in advance as far as your can
In late Jan for 25000 miles each off season you can
go RT to beachy places in CA(San Diego) and Florida.
I would probably head for Miami South Beach
betterbidding.com for nice priceline hotel clayhostel.com
nice for budget there...
You need more miles to go elsewhere but if you can pay more
might look at maho.org St John USVI or stayhawaii.com
Kohala Coast princeresortshawaii.com my fav
Even Volcanoes NP there it is AWESOME.
Happy Planning!

I've been a Mileage Plus member for many years, and have taken several trips with FF miles. As far as your available options, please see the mileage reward chart. The miles they list are for one-way so you need to double them for round-trip:

My experience is that will have trouble getting FF tickets for Christmas week, one of the busiest times of the year. United doesn't offer very many seats on those flights (because they can easily sell them), and the ones they do offer tend to get scooped up pretty quickly.
AS you can see from the chart, destinations in mainland U.S. are only 25,000 miles R/T for an economy ticket. Mexico,Central America and the Caribbean are 35,000. Hawaii is 40,000. Maybe one of those would work. Good luck to you!
