When using VX points to book a flight on VS, how do I check availability? VS website?

What's the change policy on a VS flight booked with VX points?

Plus YQ, probably not worth it. ANA has no YQ on AC but RT required.

Which is best:
JFK-HNL
2 passengers
United - 360k miles RT (with stop) in first class on 757  -would transfer UR
Delta - 330k miles RT (non stop) or 312k with 1 stop on way there - both in R on 767-400 - would transfer Amex MR
AA - 300k miles RT (with stop) in J and F - not sure how to transfer for this -dont want to waste spg here
HA - 320k miles RT (non stop) in F - not lie flat bix so not really interested- would transfer Amex MR
Chase  UR portal - 252k non stop Delta flight mentioned above
Amex Travel- 314k for delta non stop option mentioned above

Pay $$ for Delta option above $3148 RT (this was the cheapest payment option from the above)

Do I hold and wait for better options of did I not look somewhere?

I am also considering flying one way on United for 180k and one way on delta for 130k one way from the flights mentioned above.  Considering this to experience more first/business options as this would be DW first high end vaca (on points).

Would like to save SPG points for hotels.

Of course will post a complete TR after.

TIA
