Qr: Ord - doh - mle, 8/4-8/11, $1172 ai rt
Looks like QR has some good deals between Chicago and Male, Maldives next month.
Sample dates: 8/4-8/11 for $1172, although many available in late July/early August. All routes appear to connect through Doha with quite high layovers (US passports will need a visa if they want to leave the terminal).
Booking code O (25%), otherwise this would be a borderline MR.
