I'm having trouble finding the best award route to the Samoas.

I see Air New Zealand flies to Samoa, Fiji Air flies to Samoa, or Hawaiian Air flies to American Samoa. Those appear to be all the choices for actually getting there and back.

I personally fly out of CVG or anywhere in that 2 hour area (SDF, IND, CMH, DAY). I can get to the west coast if it is required to make the award work. I have 2 years to make the points I need appear in whatever program will work. I will fly any class. I am just not yet familiar enough with all the award charts and partners and such to know if it is easy to fly to HNL then PPG with Hawaiian, or if it might be cheaper to go to Australia with a stopover in the Samoas, or some other plan. Any advice is appreciated and that includes directing me to the correct forum if you have to. I didn't see much info in the South Pacific forum. I will continue searching for "Samoa" in the various sub-forums in the meantime.

Thanks.
