We're looking at Caribbean destinations currently...have a few Marriott points to spend too and a few of the Caribbean Marriotts apparently take good care of Marriott elites.
Sort of all over the map ATM...a little lost and don't have the time or expertise I used to have.
If you're going to be traveling from SEA to the Caribbean (or maybe Costa Rica?) in a premium cabin, you might well find yourself flying a combination of AS and AA. Keep in mind that there is a special BA redemption scheme for trips that utilize two or more of BA's partner carriers. Details here:
