Ideas for how to use miles end feb
My partner and I are planning a vacation from feb 18 through march 2. Our dates are flexible. I am gold med an together we have 200,000 miles. We want a beach vacation, relaxing etc -- perhaps a unique experience. We had looked at the Seychelles, but didn't really have enough miles to justify the extra expense and long travel time. Bahia, carribbean, south central america are all game. Any suggestions? Ideally we would fly business....

So for practical purposes, you have 187k miles to work with, as 24k doesn't really get you anything particularly useful. That is enough to get as far south as northern south america in business. Anything further will require acquiring more miles.
