[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1673, member: 1"] [URL='https://thepointsguy.com/guide/9-things-i-learned-traveling-with-my-81-year-old-uncle/'][B]9 things I learned traveling with my 81-year-old uncle - The Points Guy[/B][/URL] When my 81-year-old uncle told me he wanted to go on a safari in South Africa but that my aunt wasn’t interested, I did what any niece would do: I told him I would obviously be his travel buddy. To ease his lengthy travel burden — South Africa is very far from the U.S. Midwest — I used my airline miles to get him from Chicago (ORD) to Madrid (MAD), where I live. Then we flew together to South Africa and back as comfortably as possible. I used Iberia Avios for his round-trip, nonstop flights between Chicago and Madrid (round-trip in business for 68,000 points is certainly one of the best sweet spots on the Iberia award chart), giving my uncle a few days to recover from jet lag and hang out with my husband and me in Madrid.
