Hi,

Planning a trip to Maldives next April but was hoping to combine my trip with another location in Asia.

I think it is ideal to fly to Maldives from Hong Kong because of the rates, but we been there a few time and was hoping to avoid stopping over in HK. Is that possible is cost efficient

Flying out of: LAX
Family member: 2 adult, 2 kids (6 and 4)

Points: 200K AA
Chase: 160K (obviously transferable to Avios or United)

Is there any layover or stoppover location in Asia that makes it easy to get to or from Maldives?

I don't mind paying the flight to Asia (its relatively cheap in April - $600 +/-)

HELP!!!!
