Trip to Honolulu - advice needed

Hi all.

I'm based in Melbourne and am wanting to take my family to Honolulu over Christmas and New Years.

I've checked the flight options, and Jetstar is around $1400 per person (2 adults, 2 kids) from before Christmas until after New Years (about 2 weeks holiday time). The problem is, we don't want to fly with Jetstar (can't use any lounge, no points accrued, discount airline with terrible seat pitch).

I was hoping I might get some advice on how best to use our points/memberships to either get cheap flights with another carrier, or maybe pay for some of our hotels.

I have:
Thai Royal Orchid - Gold Member - 120,000 points
Westpac Altitude Rewards - 140,000 points
Starwood - only about 10,000 points left

Any suggestions are most welcome!
