Award ticket from Russia to Maldives: route??
Hello,
i see on Skyteam table, that award ticket from Russia to Maldives cost 50000 miles.
But if i right understand, none from Skyteam members not have flights to Maldives! So, if i need award ticket MOW-MLE - which route for fly?

There are often some very attractive combination flight + all-in resort packages available departing from Dusseldorf on LTU or Emirates.
You might want to just get to Dusseldorf on an award ticket and pay your way on a package to the Maldives from there. Can't say if this would be worthwhile above just flying on a package from Russia.

Probably you are right. It depends on what you are going to do when you stay there and what kind of a deal you can get on accomodations. After the tsuanami I have seen deals ex-Dusseldorf of around 1000 euro for 7-10 days full board accomodation on nice islands including airfare, hotel and food. You also might be able to book flight inclusive deals ex-Dubai.
