Welcome to the forums, this is not the place for your question, and it won't help to post the same question across multiple boards. You should start here: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=7986.0
As an alternative to using points for hotels, if you don't have enough for example, you can look for hotel certificates here http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?board=14.0

Welcome. When you do post in those places you will notice that you need to have some sort of idea of where you want to go.

True Brooklyn NY

last I checked Brooklyn isn't an airport code

I'm guessing your looking for NYC (JFK-EWR-LGA) TO LAX

We are slowly getting somewhere  ;)

Hahahah, this is going to js in no time but cut her some slack...

On a side note, this reminds me of the 5 boroughs story - "what are the 5 boroughs?" "flatbush, boro park, williamsburg, monsey, & monroe"
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

The basic idea is that for anyone to be able to help you they will need information. It is appropriate to think through on your own what information they may need and order it on your own with making everyone pull it out of you.
