We are two adults, 1 toddler and a lap infant. Without points, the cost is $935 so that is the fall-back.

We have about the following points:
- 70,000 BA Avios points
- 65,000 Avion points (RBC) - good for redemption schedule - https://www.rbcrewards.com/travel-re...rid/index.html or 100 points per $1

I have looked at lots of different options, but am coming up blank. Perhaps one of the experts here sees something I don't.

Many thanks!
Your Avios points would be good on US' CLT-YOW and PHL-YOW flights. Can you get to CLT or YOW from CUN on AA/US? If the flights to YOW are not available, can you fly into alternate airports, like YUL, YYZ, or ART? Or is the problem getting award flights out of CUN?

In situations like this, it's best to search for each individual leg separately.
