Will there be any issue flying during those dates? Obviously the check-in agent will need to realize that my father is flying all the way to Paris on the same journey.

Also found/learned something new about award ticketing this time:

1. Unlike revenue tickets, booking award tickets at offices doesn't incur surcharge, depending on which country, this can be up to $50 for revenue tickets but none for award tickets.
2. Any tickets issued by TK offices and travel agents would not require credit card validations, this is critical especially if you pay for someone else. If you book and use your miles and credit card online for someone else, have them unblocked by ticket office.
3. Miles overdraft - Elite and Elite+ are allowed up to 10K, previously someone reported 15K for E+. However, I can check this with online booking.
