I'm looking for flight to LIH, from DFW over Christmas - pretty much anytime between Dec. 20th - Jan 3rd. My dates are flexible, but I'd like to be there at least 5 days. Anyway, I checked 2 weeks ago, and they had a MilesAAver flight for 35k miles between Dec. 21-30th, which would have been perfect. Unfortunately, my miles hadn't posted yet so I couldn't book it, and now, of course, it's gone. Anyone have a suggestion on how I can use miles on at least part of the trip. It seems to me the most expensive part of the trip is getting from the continental US to LIH - so I'm looking for anywhere that will get me there with miles (I now have roughly 45k), and purchasing the ticket from DFW to whatever airport.
Suggestions?
