Cool Bargains on CMB-MLE sector (?)
May be this is worth posting in Mileage run forum.

Checked few sectors out of CMB, and it seems there are some bargains to be had.

CMB-MLE return on EK (Yes, to Male, Maldives) on random dates of May (20-27) and June.

EK site prices CMB-DXB-MLE-DXB-CMB on a FLEX fare for USD 282 which earns 13000 Skywards miles with miles accl. included. Silver and Golds can push it to 15K.

There is a direct EK flight to MLE from CMB for the same price, however it earns lousy miles.

This works out to be 2.1 cpm (even less for Golds). Good bargain for CMB residents with time/money to spare.

May be this sector is under-performing Or is it a system glitch?
