I have repeatedly read on FT how award tickets to popular locations such as Hawaii must be booked 331 days in advance. My wife and I had been saying for two years that we wanted to go to Hawaii and I could not get her to commit to vacation dates with her employer. Last October I decided to see if I could land award tickets for both airline (Delta) and hotel (Hilton) for our 2003 aniversary dates. Low and behold the Hilton Hawaiian village was available and my first choice of Delta flights in FC for award tickets was available. We flew out on Wednesday, February 12 (12:10 PM departure from Denver) and returned on Wednesday, February 19 (11:30 PM departure from HNL). The reservations were made only 4 months in advance of the flight! We had a great stay and, aside from the accuracy of reports of FC travel on Delta to Hawaii, the trip was great!
