In MLE, I doubt it
Probably more jews in MLE than BOB.

After all MLE is a cakewalk to get to with miles compare to just PPT and especially BOB  ;D

But one day I'll get out there...

Funny you mention it. I have a friend who grew up in French Polynesia. There is actually a Jewish community there. MLE is hardcore Muslim

Just keep on renting, and you will get there.
Rent a bit more, and your taxes are paid for.

Note: anyone that reads carefully this forum can follow that.

If you can find a way to use LH miles to get to BOB I'm all ears.  On principle though I have a hard time paying $1,000 for 2 people for a 45 minute flight.

Its not a risk, its a guarantee,

Just search on goofle for "airport code" and the 3 letter code.

BOB is Bora Bora, French Polynesia

PPT is Papeete, French Polynesia

MLE is Male in the Maldives

BTW, I looked into papeete and didn't see the big maales of it.

For $400+ I saw PPT - BOB

MLE is the main international airport in the Maldives.
PPT is the airport in Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia.
BOB is the airport in Bora Bora, one of the more famous places in French Polynesia. This is the place to go to burn your starpoints...staying at the Le Meridien or St Regis.
