  • This offer is subject to change or cancellation without notice. Other restrictions may apply.

Our Verdict

There are cheaper options out there (e.g using Singapore KrisFlyer miles would cost 35,000 miles round trip, Korean is 30,000 miles round trip on Hawaiian & 25,000 on Delta). Not a terribly exciting deal, but a deal none the less.

Hey DoC! I’m curious if you had seen the United/Lending Club deal. I saw a post on it (massive link below) while browsing. I️ didn’t see a piece on your site and wanted to see if you’d posted on it. 100,000 MileagePlus miles isnt bad.

Its only 35K for Singapore Tickets ON the very same UNITED (metal) flight tho… Just booked an open jaw RT from CLE to LIH/OGG and back. United would have been 45K… Korean CAN be 25K but not form CLE since there are too many connections required for the flights to those particular islands. They count the connections in their equation so its tougher for ‘non hub’ cities to take advantage of that offer.

Korean Air is 30K on Hawaiin Airlines and 25K on Delta.

This is actually a pretty good deal, because you can add a inter island ticket for free to this itinerary vs SQ @ 35K. I am actively trying to book a trip to Hawaii right now from NYC and finding availability & making the routing work on Korean is very difficult. With United you can fly direct from EWR, also I checked availability this morning and January and Febraury have lots of availability.

Unfortunately the promo is only good till 3/11 which doesn work form.
