What experience do you have with international (non USA) airlines and long haul routes?
It is noted you do not mention business class. What is called first for most USA domestic flights would be considered poor quality business class on many non USA international airlines flying long haul routes.
The number of airlines having long haul first class is reducing. In 2 years from now it will be less than today. Many routes do not have first. Only economy (coach) and business or only economy.
Have you checked which airlines fly into the Maldives and with what class? Is not hard to do.
Awards are not guaranteed to be available when you want them. If for 2 people is 4 times as hard.
Frequent flying is not the same as frequent spending (with miles into a ffp)
