QR: IAD-SEZ(Mahe, Seychelles!!)-IAD $708 RT wow



Looks like it earns 50% EQMs and 25% RDMs on AA, meaning about a 7.8 cent cost per EQM and making that a bit too high to get excited about for an MR (but I think you'd be crazy to do an MR to a premier destination like that!) Lots of dates available up and down the schedule.

I went to the Seychelles back in 2015 and spent 10 total days between Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. Really wonderful...you've got maybe a third of the world's top 10 beaches, creole cuisine, and an island (La Digue) where you can use bikes for getting around. Also various nature preserves like nowhere else. Can't recommend it enough.

BTW, I booked my 2015 trip as part of the great Etihad mistake-fare sale of Christmas 2014 and it was JFK-SEZ-JFK at $616, so this one's not too far off of that incredible deal. On that same sale I also did IAD-MNL-IAD at $344 RT and ORD-AUH-ORD at $208, so SEZ was one of the "pricier" spots to get to relative to the sale but was expensive and a real bear to get to otherwise.
