Upgrade help requested
I am hoping to get some help from people on this board. I have been searching this time for the past hour or so and still have not found the answer to my question.
I would appreciate anyone who can at least point me in the right direction, I am not asking for anyone to repost information which can be found elsewhere.
I am planning a trip to Hawaii this August, and am trying to get another first class ticket. From my understanding, I can buy a coach ticket, and use WP miles to upgrade (17,500 miles OW), any fare with the exception of T & K. Do I understand this correctly?
My other question is about upgrade certificates. Are there certificates that can upgrade from coach to first to Hawaii? Is there a place where these are listed, or any suggestions to find out about the rules of a certificate without having one?
I appreciate any help given. I did do quit a bit of research before posting, and am not trying to post and ask a stupid, outrageous or redundant question.
Thanks!
Jennifer

Yes. Rules for Hawai'i upgrades can be found: http://www.nwa.com/freqfly/direct/charts/zone03.shtml
Seats are limited and you can use ITN to see if there are any F seats to upgrade into.

FWIW, these questions have been answered numerous times... perhaps try searching HNL Upgrade or HNL first next time.

Thank you for the quick response and answers!
I did do a number of searches, but not for HNL. Thanks for that suggestion, I will go and do that now to get an idea of all the possibilities.
Thanks again!
