We are half-way there. Used United ff miles for business class tickets from Rio to Tucson (via DC and Denver). Have to travel in the back of the bus from Denver to Tucson, but that's ok. We spent 80,000 miles pp for the one-way ticket. But, I'm just happy to finally use the miles!
Guess we'll be purchasing Regent air for the Tucson to Africa portion of the trip.
