Problem solved, thank you Iberia for your low fuel surcharges and better redemption rates than BA!

Outbound on 15 December, leaving Frankfurt via Madrid to Joburg (crazy routing I know!) But cannot complain for GBP391 per person return in economy...

On the return leg (26 December) I thought I'd upgrade them to make up for the weird routing. Got Joburg to Madrid Business Class tickets for EUR100 + 45,000 Avios each.

So total spend to get both my family members from Europe to South Africa and back for Christmas:

GBP782 + EUR200 + 90,000 Avios.

Much better than GBP1800 return in economy (for two) I was getting quoted on Skyscanner, and that was with Thomas Cook Airlines....
