Palau, Micronesia in $3400s RT

Hey Jack, fly me to paradise without sacrificing my knee-caps!

Done and done. 

ICYMI, we just dropped one of the rarest flight routes we've seen all year, but if you'd rather fly bougie, these discounted bizz class tickets are your answer. 

The caveat? An entire day in Manila en route. Not the worst when you consider free access to the renovated Mabuhay Lounge's showers and restaurant. But for maximum comfort, a night in the nearby Belmont or Marriott means you'll wake up fresh for your flight. It's worth checking if the airline offers a complimentary hotel; we've heard whisperings, but it seems to be at the airline's discretion. 

Even with a long layover, it's still the easiest (and cheapest) way to reach Palau. Otherwise you're looking at dropping almost $5k for a 3-stop connection. And those knees? Lost somewhere around Honolulu.
