JetBlue sometimes has NYC-FLL for ~7k.

Current example: August 25 for 6.3k B6 JFK/LGA-FLL.
If you need to transfer from Amex, it's 8k MR = 6.4k B6.

Another option for this example date is redeem UR through the UR portal at 1.2cpp. DL flights going for 7,850 UR (and the flight is treated as revenue so you earn miles).
Same DL flights going for 10k DL + $5.6 booked as award ticket..

How did you get that number of 7,850 for a direct delta flight ? I am getting about 30k UR for round trip.

It depends on the published price of the flight. For flights under $100, that should be the approximate amount of miles needed..

K so maybe planning last minute trip to HNL, right noy only Y avail...
Obviously the way to book is singapore, now im willing to fly Y but if j opens up I'd jump on that
Is it possible to book now with Singapore and if J opens up jump on that (plan b type thing), or should i just wait?
Also would like real (at least 23 hours, if not more) SO (LAX or SFO) on return.
Is that possible with Singapore?
