Boyfriend and I are looking to check out the new Hyatt Papagayo in May of next year. I have two free nights through my Chase Hyatt card, as well as 40k immediate Hyatt Gold Passport points coming through in the next two months. I plan to get an additional 4k points (or transfer from Chase UR) to get us 4 nights.
Ideas for flights? Airline? Signup bonus?
If you can start within 524 miles of IAH, you can get 2 seats on United with 22K ANA miles per person, transferred from AMEX (One signup bonus for BRG gets 2 tickets) or SPG. Using Avios on AA, MIA-LIR is 7500 Avios, DFW-LIR is 10K. Use AMEX BRG for those as well. If you're not in the South or Southeast, that is also off-peak time for AA at 30K RT.

Edit: AA will be your best bet from IND or ORD if you can find workable dates.
