Even without the fare sale, off-peak Avios rates are 41,000 Avios from Boston BOS, Chicago ORD, New York JFK, San Juan SJU, Toronto YYZ and Washington, DC IAD, or 51,000 from Dallas DFW, Miami MIA, and Orlando MCO.

Where to Stay in Madrid
In Madrid, we loved our stay in the Four Seasons Madrid, which enjoys al fresco dining on the rooftop terrace at Dani Brasserie (which is also where our Four Seasons Preferred Partner clients enjoy complimentary breakfast daily). Don't miss the sunlit atrium swimming pool and sun terrace.
.
The Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid, by the Prado Museum, is more classically elegant in style, and has a fantastic breakfast buffet.
.
The Thompson Madrid is another option, although we've had mixed service experiences during our multiple stays there.
