First, I'm new at flyertalk, so please excuse my lack of abbreviations! I need to strategize how to get three award tickets from Philadelphia area to Honolulu outbound and return from Kona Intl for next summer (June 23 - July 8 ). I have 250K Marriott pts and will trade them for a travel package which includes 120K air miles (can be deposited into any award acct I choose). My husband and I have accts with Delta and USAir (about 8300 miles in each). I'm told I have to wait until the return flights are available, but what's the chance the outbound flights will be available at that point? I appreciate your suggestions
