Packages from India to the Maldives
Does anyone know of any package deals that include airfare from, say Delhi or Mumbai to the Maldives? I am thinking of using my BA miles to fly CX to KUL....stay there a few days and then go to the Maldives, and then come back to KUL for my flight back home to the U.S.
Packages are outrageous from here.

Check with Emirates Holidays, DNATA or a local travel agent. Gulf News or TimeOut Dubai classifieds also feature ads for packages to the Maldives.

No--havent decided on the hotel.....still researching that option as well....Any ideas? My wife is really keen on a water villa....we have about 30K SPG pts, so wasnt sure if an SPG property had those available that we could use our pts on.....other options would be like okay hotels......I just want it to be clean, good food...halal, and a good value.

While each night costs 20K in SPG points, you can get a night on Cash & Points for 8K points + USD 150 / night. The standard price seems to be in the USD 260 range.
