They fly the 763 on the route year round. Worth the extra 7,500 BA IMO.

They also fly a 757 with lie flat J seats year round.

Flew it a week ago on 7+ hour flight. Was glad to have a lie flat bed to sleep for a few hours.

No doubt it's better than a reclining seat

Which hotel?

St Regis Maldives - got 5 nights in a OWV for 340K and added on a night in the GV for 60K so 6 nights for 400K.


How much was YQ?
About $80 total for AS, and about $176 total for all the AA legs, so all in around $256, 280K AA, 300K AS, and then 400K Marriott.

It'll make my trip look boring. I recently booked JFK-DOH-MLE, MLE-DOH-JFK in J on QR and have the same MLE stay (but 5 nights). But mine isn't until rainy season :(

Nice! I've never flown EY A380 F but the 787 F is a great hard product IMO.

At least on one long haul. Here’s hoping they upgrade the other flight ...
