I am planning a trip for the end of January and am kinda surprised at the prices and lack of options of hotels. I am not sure whether it is worth going to a cheaper hotel that is not at grace bay beach, as I understand that is the nicest part of the island. Any advice?

Dunno where to post this. I am trying to book an award with flying blue and it shows for 15k but when I click on next it jumps to 22.5k. Anyone ever have this?

To:HNL or LIH

BUMP

I tried all the tips found on this site as well as others. The only things I found are Delta or United for around 160k RT. I dont wanna give up just yet. Is it worth taking a paid short haul flight to somewhere I do find business/first award availability, or am I running into too many potential problems?

Just spoke to in-house reservations at GHK again and they are adamant that this is the only availability and that the reason i couldn't find anything for months in advance is due to there being very few of them available.  Not my experience in the past but what can I do.

I guess my only option is using a diamond account. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there someone that would be willing to make the reservation on their diamond account?

Ok. I am referring to $$ which I thought you were also looking at. SNA's can be applied and might clear if there is availability. You can also call SPG to check on Suite pricing. I know they offer the Junior Suite as C+P for example. Pricing is disgusting though.

ok now we are totally not in the same hotel I am talking about the GHK

Show me dates where the hotel has general availability where you can't book suites.

Every date I checked randomly in Jan that had general availability, had suites available as well.

i tried putting a screenshot but not sure how to do that. I see availability with regular paid stays but not with points. The dates I just tried are January 28th to 29th.
