Hi
This year I've redeemed about 300,000 points for flights on QF affiliates to East Timor, Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga & PNG... Excellent value at only 30,000 a shot...
Unfortunately, with the changes to the QF rules these destinations are now significantly more expensive in point terms...
Last year I redeemed using LH points to Tahiti - only 30,000 points from MEL via AKL... (Which, given the distance involved, is an extraordinary deal)
Has anyone any experience of the best FF programmes (Star & OW) for redemptions to other Pacific Island destinations (originating in SYD or MEL)?
Other destinations of interest include: Cook Islands (30,000 on LH from MEL); Solomons (now much more expensive using QF points via POM or NAN but perhaps possible with other programmes?); Nauru (I don't think this is covered at all by Star or OW airlines?); Wallis & Futuna (via Noumea - not sure if Air Calin allows redemptions from O/W airlines); Tuvalu (Air Fiji from Suva, one way airfare is $650 FJD - rather expensive given the distance, but unlikely to be available for redemption on any programme); Kiribati; Guam; Palau; Marshall Islands.
