Goodness gracious, this is going to get interesting. I'm soon headed to the Maldives, and I now have my return flight booked, which was my top priority. I had a slight change in plans to my outbound.
Originally I was going to first visit Colombo for a few days, and was trying to decide between a few different airlines.
Due to a commitment that just came up, I'll literally have to fly from the US to the Maldives as efficiently as possible, since I can only leave two days before my check-in date at the Park Hyatt.
So I've been scrambling for different ways to get from New York to the Maldives as quickly as possible.

I've already written a bit about this flight on the days following the inaugural, as follows:
-- Qatar Airways A350 Business Class Inaugural Flight
-- Flying With His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways' CEO

I managed to be the first aboard the Qatar Airways A350, and quickly snagged a few pictures of the cabin.
Qatar Airways' A350 features a total of 36 seats. Each seat features direct aisle access, so the configuration is 1-2-1. The forward cabin consists of six rows, then there's the entrance by the second set of doors, and behind that is another three rows of seating.

There’s a fun trick that can help you save hundreds of dollars on your next long flight—but it’s a little complicated and requires a bit of work.Bloggers get hate mail over sharing this tip (I’m not kidding), presumably because some people feel entitled to keep secrets to themselves. In my opinion, the only reason this loophole hasn’t been closed has nothing to do with its public knowledge but rather that it takes effort and attention to benefit from it. Basically, "fuel dumping" is a ticketing strategy to help you strip the fuel surcharges from certain international airfares by adding on an extra, unused segment to the end of the trip.Reader Mike asked, I’ve booked myself a flight to Hawaii but having trouble finding a good one home in F.
