Help with LAS-HNL
I'm trying to book first or business class LAS to HNL. I have 25k expiring TYP points, 20k SPG points, and about 80k UR points.
Cash first class seat on Hawaiian Air direct at a reasonable hour is $1k. I could use the TYP expiring points as a $330 credit, and pay cash for the rest.
Or I was wondering if there are better ways to get a first class seat transferring to frequent flier miles? One stop would be fine, especially if their first class is better than HA's.
TYP and UR points both transfer to Singapore Airlines - is that something worth exploring?

I'm having a problem searching for domestic first class awards on HA. Recently, I saw that some saver rates were becoming available again, but I cant find any going from LAS -> HNL. Does HA release more inventory close-in? Or are there just so many locals on the "ninth island" it's always hard to get anything on a saver award?
