This is part of my master plan to go to Hawaii with the family on points

Chase Sapphire rewards -> Korean Air Skymiles -> Delta miles

You can redeem 25k points for the flight on Delta using this method. I get 50k points per Chase card. So in theory I should get 4 flights

You can also book with Korean Air having one stopover and one "open jaw". This is probably going to let us go ORD->HLN->JAX->ORD for my wife's graduation for her doctorate on the same tickets

I've been trying to confirm the various pieces with Korean Air before pulling the trigger on everything.

Can you do ORD --> HNL (time) HNL --> JAX and then just buy JAX-ORD? - ty97 Sep 23, 06:49 5
- Yes. We have a variety of options if we have to but the KA redemption is super flexible so I think we can make it all work -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 06:56 4
  - (pulls a Dawson). KA is DragonAir. Korean is KE. - ty97 Sep 23, 06:58 3
    - this whole process is quite mind-boggling to me -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 06:59 2
      - I actually suck at all this award stuff because I so rarely use my miles - ty97 Sep 23, 07:09 1
        
        heh, there is a scene in Corner Gas where a character says "we can use my points card as I collect points" - Beaker Sep 23, 07:14
