Hi
Looking at a 1 way flight from Honolulu to Sydney with a carrier that allows me to earn VFF status credits. However due to the high pricing for 1 way flight especially with HA, I'm also considering award seats and will forgo the S/C earn.
These are the options I found:
Paid Flights - Econony
Hawaiian Airlines:
HNL - SYD $1914 p/p for 1 way which in economy is a bit too steep for me.
Or HNL - SYD - HNL is $1400 (return) and I won't turn up to do the return leg to HNL.
Not sure if specials are ever released for 1 way flights ex HNL.
Air NZ
HNL - SYD via AKL 1 way $1009 USD / converts to roughly $1271 AUD by todays conversion.
Award Seats - Business class
I've come to realise after posting the question on this forum, that award seats on HA are almost impossible for 2 passengers in business from HNL to SYD or HNL to BRI.
Was wondering if anybody can advise whether I can use VFF points to redeem 2 award seats on the Air NZ flight by phoning Velocity ? And if it can be done, what is the availability normally like for 2 business seats if I book 331 days out ?
Also, are there any other airlines options I've not thought of that will enable S/C earn with VFF, without going around the world to get home to Sydney.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
