Ideas to use 300k miles for family of four
I am not sure how receptive you all are to these types of threads....
I have 300k MP miles that I am looking to mostly burn off for next March. Looking for ideas on itineraries for a family of four.
From MN, so obviously looking for some sun and warmth. Good food, a little history, outdoors, stuff for the kids. Domestic/foreign doesn't matter.
Wanting to know if better off booking 4 RT tix in Y with miles, or doing a little splurge and doing a couple award tix in Biz and buying a couple more.
Maybe you have something you did in the past that worked well? Would love to hear, thx!

You don't say for how long the trip is for.
If you can do Saturday to Saturday, you could check St. Lucia (UVF) or St. Kitts/Nevis (SKB).

Had a BLAST and a great getaway from a freezing Northeast Pennsylvania!
BTW, award tickets should be around 17.5k to 40k one way each in E, depending on routing and availability.

When booking awards for a family group and if OK with separate PNRs, check award pricing for 1,2,3 & 4 separately. If there are 2 savers and you ask for 4, you will get 4 non-saver when you could book 2 saver and 2 non-saver. Put an adult on each PNR.
