How to Non-rev to the Maldives???

Has anyone been to the Maldives recently? If so, how did you go? I will be leaving from the East Coast, DC or MD area. Any suggestions?

Thanks

You could try Austrian who fly into the Maldives from VIE once or twice weekly. Failing that, Sri Lankan is always a good option as well as they run 1-4 times daily between CMB-MLE & have become some sort of defacto national carrier of the Maldives offering nonstops from MLE to places like NRT and BKK as well as CMB.
To be honest, there are not a lot of airline options to/from MLE so I personally would be getting somewhere close (like CMB) and then buying a cheap local ticket to get to/from MLE. SriLankan offers return fares for 17,100 LKR's (or USD164.00 *return*) between CMB-MLE - unless there's a sale on and it's cheaper!!

Suggest Emirates (EK) which has loads of services to the Maldives ex DXB.
Plenty of connection points over Europe to DXB or direct NYC DXB twice daily
