Hello,
Can anyone suggest what is the best way to use 130,000 MR points to go to Hawaii?
Is converting them to any specific Airline miles like HawaaianMiles any better?
Thanks for your help.

1. Number of passengers?
2. Departing from?
3. Class of service?
4. Do you have elite status on any airline?

Sorry for leaving out the details...I am a first time user here...was not sure what details to provide.
1. 3 Adults + 1 Child (6 Yrs) + 1 Infant (Less than 2 Yrs)
2. SFO
3. Economy
4. No
I do know that I need to pay for some of the tickets as the miles probably are not sufficient to cover all tickets.
Thanks for your help.
Welcome to FlyerTalk!!
Any particular time of year you want to travel? And how long do you want to stay in the islands?
Any particular destination in Hawaii?

Well, through July 31st Delta is running a 30% transfer bonus from MR to Delta, which would give you a total of 169,000 miles.

If your schedule is flexible, you can look for Low-level redemption days which only cost 40k miles per ticket from SFO to HNL. Your 169k miles will get you the four tickets you need, if you don't mind the infant in your lap.
