Help with best option from ATl to LIH
 
Trying to put together a trip during Spring Break from Atlanta to Princeville Resort on Kauai for three people. Depart 3/31 and return 4/6. I have over a 1,000,000 Delta miles and over 600,000 Starwood points which I will be using for the St Regis there.

Delta doesn't have available flights on those dates for award seats, great. I have 200,000 American points but Starwood limits your transfer to to 95000 so I can't get enough in there to cover the 450,000 required for bus class tickets. Anyway around this, perhaps a second transfer to my wife'sAA account. Is the 95000 limit per year or what or per airline or per what?

I can't seem to find any Delta partners that I can use Delta points on but this is where I don't know what I am doing. Any help here? Using Delta points somehow is my first choice obviously since I have so many. Any chance Delta will open up some first class seats for these dates?

Any ideas how to pull this off would be apprciated.

Starwood transfers are limited to 79,999 (+bonus = 94,999) per 24 hours I believe. To get the max transfer bonus (5K per 20K transferred), you'll want to transfer 60K at a time which will be 75K AA after the transfer bonus.

The limit is per 24 hours though, so you shouldn't have any problems...
