It’s always a great day when we find cheap deals to the Maldives. We’re seeing flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Malé (MLE) starting at just $410 round-trip on SkyTeam member China Eastern.
Because you’re saving a ton of money on the flight, you should consider using points to stay in the Maldives. For instance, you could stay at the luxurious Park Hyatt Maldives, which costs 30,000 Hyatt points for a free night. TPG himself stayed at the resort in 2017 and marveled at the great views and superb service.
