You did nothing wrong. It’s beyond reasonable, your offer is generous. If she can’t swing it she can’t swing it.
could also go with this one..

You are in the right. You could use those miles on yourself to fly somewhere and if you give them away the next trip will cost you money....next year, I have plans to head to the British Open in England. However, prior to The Open, I am taking a side trip to Greece for a week. I booked my trips (solo) as I was not sure who was able to come on either of these trips (most people I know don't plan like I do and wait until the month before).
Anyway, one of the circle of friends indicated she wanted to go to Greece and not England - no problem. She is a teacher and sometimes money gets tight for her - when she looked at the price of a R/T ticket from Philly and/or Newark to Greece, it was prohibitively expensive for her (about $1600+).
So, I offered to book the ticket using my FF miles and she can pay me a reasonable fee - I told her i would be OK with $600-$800.
I thought I was being a good guy, but she went off on me stating that since I had so many miles, I should just book the ticket for her and she pays the administrative fees (about $100).
So, was I wrong to offer to get the ticket for her and ask for half price? I feel I was going out of my way to help since money is a bit tight for her and I even offered to let her pay me over time. However, she is adamant that she should not have to pay half the full price, even if it means not going.
Just for the record, she is just a person I know, not a personal relationship. Sorry - no pics so throw the flag.
Figure I would let the expertise of BWI tell me if I am being a good guy or not in this situation.
Tell her if she wants to meet you in Greece to start swimming now....
All good comments. I am assuming all the responders are men.
I have not asked a woman’s perspective on this but if you think about it-ask you wife what she thinks. I would like to hear a woman’s thoughts on this. Just to see if it’s different.

I'd say nothing and let the whole thing die a merciful death. You owe her nothing.How hot is she?

Exactly who put a gun to your head yo make you read this ?what does this have to do with Penn State Football or recruiting. Make up your own mind. If you think you did the right thing so be it. I think there’s a test board for this nonsense.
True, and that might be her best option. However, I did offer her a price even less than that ($600) which I would have accepted, and she would have a 20 minute drive to PHL vs. a 1 hour drive to EWR.She’s clearly in the wrong. By the way, I’d engage in a new flight search engine. Took me two minutes to see Emirates flies direct RT from Newark to Athens for under $800.
That would require him staying out of that strip club.Write her off quickly and then avoid her!!! (forever)
And you call her a friend. She is selfish....next year, I have plans to head to the British Open in England. However, prior to The Open, I am taking a side trip to Greece for a week.
