What's the best way to book?

NYC - TLV round trip for Rosh Hashanah, what's the best miles /points to use? I have some of all.

$, miles won't help

[ckmk47]

I'm looking for 2 tickets NYC > HNL  first or business class
Sun, Jan 22 > Thurs Jan 26.


United has no saver award space, so 180K round
Delta has for 105K round
Hawaiian for 160K round


Am I missing something? What is my best option?

Wait for United to open up space.

Wait for United to open up space.

I've been waiting for over a month. Do you think it will open?
Is Delta first a decent option.  I'm willing to pay more to know I've got something.
What is Delta's award cancellation policy? (If united opens up)

Check about a month before the flight.

[ckmk47]

Check about a month before the flight.

Thanks.

Thanks and when I transfer in, I can transfer in and hold an award with the post-discount amount, right?

Discount is only on SQ metal bookings.

There's no discount for partner bookings (or mixed metal + partner).

[@Yehuda]

Discount is only on SQ metal.

There's no discount for partner bookings (or mixed metal + partner) as it can't be booked online.

I knew that about the metal. So, can this be booked as 1 award? Do you put the JFK-FRA on hold and then when it clears, call up to add FRA-TLV?

Yes.

Not sure exactly how the hold works, but sounds about right.

[@Yehuda]

Yes.

Thank you!

Looks like you would have to have a long layover in FRA if you want to go to TLV with SQ

Delta first on the nonstop is very good.
$150 but you can get it waived with a sob story.
