Morning all (long time lurker, first time poster).

I have 80,000 Flying Club points and a 241 voucher which expires 15/01/2024 (essentially, I need to travel this year).

Also, we have a baby on the way! Due April 2023.

My question is – What is the best use of my 241 redemption this year, accounting for the age of the baby? We’re looking to go off-peak anywhere (Nov/early Dec) and I’ve currently shortlisted the Caribbean. Any other good ideas, specifically with a 6 month old?

Thanks!

Hope it all goes well. VS flies to Cape Town. Weather would be warm but not overtly hot at that time of the year, and no time difference/great exchange rate.

I was looking at seatspy yesterday and it looks to me that VS is going to start flying to MLE in November which might be nice.

Caribbean is a good bet isn’t it.

Having said that LA/San Diego/Miami wouldn’t be unpleasant
