This is something I am dying to do. I've just come back from French Polynesia for two weeks, and it's not cheap at all, although I used my Hawaiian Airlines, which I have a card with, on a rebooked flight from Japan that was not going to work out.

I have accrued some miles but not yet enough. I'd kill to go to Fiji, Vanuatu, or Yap. Hawaiian doesn't serve these though, although it has spots in Asia (but after that much money spent this year, I need to try elsewhere that Hawaiian flies).

Any ideas?

They go to Manila. My husband claims it is politically unstable. I said that was one island, no? I have enough miles for two round-trip international tickets and will lose them if I don't act! Another place that Hawaiian goes is to Sydney, but that's nowhere near where I am interested in going, really. Also, Seoul, which gets closer.

Or maybe I'll fly to Seoul and go to China? That would be a dream trip for me (since I blew a LOT of money in FP and can no longer afford Japan next summer, boo-hoo! If anyone knows of a way to get miles to Japan, let me know!)
