Is there a way to share miles with him? Otherwise buying an outright upper class ticket for him is expensive! T
You can buy your son's ticket with your miles, no need for a Household account.
Your wife could buy a one way ticket with her miles and then she could buy her return flight using your miles.
Basically you need to phone up Virgin and ask that she\you are authorised to use each others miles.
Then in the same phone call book the flights.
Though with such a relatively small amount between you i cannot see you all getting UC.
The split in miles used from each others account has to be equal so hence the One way trick.
Flying is the best value to burn miles.
Chauffeur rides to\from some airport is 17.5K one way and can be useful to get rid of such a small amount.
Limit is 75 driven miles.
