Would you recommend biting the bullet and just using 80,000 miles or shorten the trip by a couple days and just use 40,000 miles.

What about Star Alliance members? Are there better options redeeming the miles on another airline? etc....

Thanks for your help in advance!

Welcome to FlyerTalk Chris.

You didn't say where you would be traveling from - the answer to your question would be very different if you are coming from London or from Santiago, for example.
