This chart may not come through clearly......however the one that jumped out at me was for St John flights --

The miles needed are ACTUALLY GOING DOWN!

30,000 is all you need for RT -- versus the old 35,000 -- interesting for those looking to burn some Starpoints -- perhaps a free ticket for 20,000 Starpoints, or close to that for those with some small balances or those who loaded up their accounts with points.

I didn't notice that this for Non AA -- those levels stay the same. So winter time seats at these levels are probably tough and probably remain at 27,500/segment for Caribbean.

I think that's the best use. The direct flight from DFW to HNL is the best option. That would not make sense for you.
