[zzzhobbes]

Happy to double the honey pot to $100.00 for this one
I have 240K in Virgin Atlantic points and want two return tickets to Hawaii in Aug/Sept this year
Can locate flights to Honolulu but can't find any return flights

Conditions
Only have 240K in Virgin Atlantic points to spend
Want to travel Business Class or Premuim for two people
Max Stay 2 weeks
Preferably in Aug/Sept this year

Now its up to you to find me flights and collect the $100.00 reward

Tip if you know someone in Air NZ that can free up two business class tickets from HNL to AKL your on your way to $100.00

Have you tried booking on a Virgin Australia flight through the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club?

Codeshare with HA, VA6970.

Codeshare with HA, VA6970.

True but I have already try to book Hawaiian Airlines with Virgin Atlantic and no availability
For the time required

 

[MELso]

Just because HA doesn't have availability doesn't necessarily mean VA/DJ doesn't either. Such are the fun of codeshares...

SYD-HKG-NRT-HNL in Economy

(Not enough points for premium cabins unfortunately as this would be a minimum of 240k per person)


SYD-HKG On VS (20k each way) $399.52AUD in taxes return
HKG-NRT-HNL on ANA (40K each way) $3000HKD in taxes return

You could also check Hawaiian ex-HKG also SYD-HKG-ICN-HNL

 

[kamchatsky]

How about SYD-AKL-LAX/SFO on J for 125K each person (ie need 250K), then buy your own ticket from LAX/SFO to Hawaii?

Too bad you don't have BMI miles, otherwise you can do:


SYD-LAX UA J or SYD-AKL-LAX NZ J
LAX/SFO-KOA/HNL/ITO etc on UA/CO on J if available


and it would be 18750 miles + 127.5GBP + tax per person 1 way ....


I got it ticketed before, no problems on routing. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances I could not go to that trip.

I bit the bullet yesterday and booked a flight in October 2012 with Air New Zealand for as 15 Day stay and as you have it a flight has now opened up with Air New Zealand for 24 July Return 3 August How annoying is that !!!!!! and No I am not prepared to change the flight at the cost of 25% of the points
O Well it will give us some time save for the trip
Thanks again for your assistance

I will be writing a thread on Dealing with Virgin Atlantic if you are interested
