Skyteam flights to OKA
Hello everyone.
I am having problems trying to find a decently priced flight to OKA at the end of October. When I do most of my searches it comes up with Staralliance flights for around $1400, and Delta flights for $6K.
I would hate to miss out on all the miles I would get from PHL to OKA, but for the price I would have to fly someone else.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to find the flights that will bring the price down?
Thanks!

You may want to consider the newest ST member, China Airlines (CI) via Taipei.
With a quick search I found approx. $1592 RT flights LAX/SFO - OKA, T-class (100% mileage/MQM accrual to Delta SkyMiles).

Instead of backtracking through Asia, I would just fly to a DL airport and book a separate ticket to Okinawa from there. If you can get to HND or NGO, Skymark Airlines has pretty cheap flights to OKA -- as little as ~$200 round trip with advance purchase. From NRT or KIX you could still take JL or NH for a bit more money.
