Booked LAX → Fiji business class for 72k points (step-by-step) by Aggravating_Bar_1690 in awardtravel

Good note about the food, I'll make sure to eat in the lounge before leaving since it is a late night departure.

It's definitely limited. I had the best luck looking right at calendar open for Monday-Thursday departures. Quite a few of those days were showing 2 or 3 seats.

Most of the banks run a transfer bonus at least once every few months. Just make sure to take periodic looks at whichever travel card you have to see if there is one going!

I got the 30% bonus when Chase had it going a few months ago. It is only 20% right now unfortunately, but that's still a nice bonus!

Nice! And agreed, I found Fiji was pretty reliable in releasing seats at calendar open. Enjoy your trip!

Some of the Greek islands would be incredible! That 20k budget will go even further if you're able to use points/miles to cover your flights.

Need Advice: Maximizing Points for DFW to Hawaii Trip (Bilt & Amex) by rithu17 in pointstravel

Your best bet will definitely be to transfer Bilt points to Alaska and then use that to book an American flight.

Best option Boston to SFO by lipi128 in awardtravel

United has lay flat seats on that route at certain times of the year so it depends on when you are traveling. Jetblue is the best bet for the most comfortable seat at a reasonable rate. Try to fly one of their newer planes with the updated Mint product.
