Madrid, Spain
On July 2nd, 2022, I finally decided to use my travel points accumulated over the past five years for an exciting trip. With over 1 million points across various credit cards, airlines, and hotels, I rarely use them and often for budget stays or economy flights. Thanks to a tip from travel blogger Max Miles Points, I snagged a business class flight with Iberia from Chicago to Madrid for just 36,000 points and $123. The experience was a luxury, with lie-flat seats, gourmet meals, and excellent service, despite a minor cockpit security concern. Upon arrival, we stayed at the Crowne Plaza near the airport, used convenient unlimited data SIM cards, and explored Madrid with a relaxed itinerary. Highlights included visiting Plaza Mayor, Parque de El Retiro, and the Royal Palace. Our day in Madrid was fulfilling, though I felt it could be managed in a single day without splitting the trip before heading to Porto.
