Overwater bungalows in Bora Bora might seem like a once-in-a-lifetime splurge, but what if you could experience it more than once? The crystal-clear lagoons and breathtaking Polynesian sunsets are even sweeter when you know how to make this dream destination a reality without breaking the bank. Points and miles turn this exclusive getaway into a repeatable experience, without the steep price tag.

This week, Alex, Pam, and Jess share their second trips to the Conrad Bora Bora. From positioning flights to the West Coast to navigating French Polynesia's inter-island connections, they’re diving deep into the strategies that made these trips possible. You'll hear about the airlines with the best award options, how to maximize your time on the island with red-eye flights, and the real costs to expect once you arrive.
