Flying out of BOS, we have a trips/flights planned to GSP next month, NYC in April, Disney in October, and then Maui again in March of 2018. GSP and NYC flights are cheap enough to pay cash. Disney, I want to fly the family (2 adults, 1 child, and 1 infant) in business class (or like a Delta comfort+). Same for next Hawaii trip. So trying to see how to use the points for the October trip but save/earn enough more for the next Hawaii flights (BOS to SAN, stay overnight, SAN to OGG, then on the way back stay 4-5 nights in SAN.
Are you a member of Alaska Airlines AS freq flyer program? Delta DL ffp? Delta & AS are freq flyer partners.
UA or AA ffp? (AA & AS are also ff partners)
Or do you spend Chase UR directly, without going via an airline ffp?
Getting 3 + infant to Hawaii in a premium cabin without paying the full cash price is hard. Hundreds of others trying to do the same.
