Mine says spend £600 with online Amex travel, nothing beyond that. The booking was completing when a confirmation email arrived from Amex. I know that's not the same as the actual credit, but there's nothing to suggest it's not applied to flights.

check 'step 2' of the email. Mine says "Spend £600 or more on pre-paid hotels, car hire or experiences booked by 28 February 2018." Annoyingly in the small print the 'fine hotels' promo hotels are also excluded

After a couple of trips to HNL in the last few years (1 for work, 1 a TP run) I would really love to take the family there.
After a bit of searching by trial and error, I found the following... Starting in Amsterdam, with a night in New York on the way out and another in Los Angeles (which means heading straight to Santa Monica for us) to sweeten the deal.
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...=ONEWORLD;eo=e
Works for us time-wise... In terms of price, it's on the high side, but quite reasonable IMHO for a trip of this scale.
But can anyone suggest another starting point in Europe, or any other options to make this a better/cheaper trip?
Thanks, as always, to this wonderful forum for any input!

Just a quick one to note that MAD-TLV is currently £567 return for selected dates on the direct IB flight. Make sure you pick the right dates and it's operated by an A330 with lie flat seats, e.g. - https://www.google.co.uk/flights/#se...=ONEWORLD;eo=e
This is also a 140 TP route so approaching TP run territory at c.£2 per TP.

If you don't mind going out via Dublin and Chicago then you can get it down to £6597 with plenty of flight options.

A quick heads up that RJ are doing a flash sale, 40% off which although not quite as good as the recent 50% off is still yielding some decent fares.
