Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

If you wanted to fly to the Maldives or Mauritius on Avios this Winter, today is your lucky day.

A lot of availability has suddenly appeared this afternoon.

Here is, courtesy of SeatSpy, availability for 2 x business class to the Maldives between October and January (correct as at 5.15pm today).

Even if you increase the search to four seats, most of the dates below are still bookable.

Bored for half term? 6 Club seats available ….. if they need a PCR test you’d need the 3-hour one available at Heathrow.

Reward availability to Mauritius has also popped up. There is less here than for the Maldives, with most availability in November and December:

Happy booking.

    I guess less than 24 hours before departure is too last minute for my blood! We will keep our Scotland trip next week. Does make me want to set up a few seatspy alerts for next year though. We have Jade Mountain booked for May, but would swap for Maldives

  Think we will change our flights from Singapore, v tempting. Lux Bel Mare was gorgeous when it was first taken over. Lovely pool, beach and food.

This was a very significant and time sensitive development. An email would have been very much appreciated.

Pleased for those who were able to get flights.

Thank you. I managed to get four BA flights yesterday from Male to Heathrow in the Easter Holidays. I had to do it a crowded tube train. Now booked Emirates reward flights going out.

We’re going to the Conrad Rangali. They still seem to have some reward rooms available.

Is there any way for me to transfer Amex or Avios rewards to Emirates to then use redemptions with Emirates that anyone knows of please?
- Kevin C says:

  Emirates are an Amex rewards partner so you can transfer over membership points at a rate of 1:1. You can also transfer Marriott points to Emirates at a rate of 3:1.
  
  I joined Skywards plus to get a reduction of 20 per cent on the Emirates points needed. You’ll have to do the maths to see if it’s worth the cost.

Seeking some advice having missed out on these last night whilst on hold waiting for BA to answer the phone – I already have a reward booking with 241 voucher, and was trying to change it from economy to business outbound while retaining the return leg which we already secured in first. Am I missing a trick i.e. could I have booked via different call centre, or booked online and then called up to join up the bookings together, or to cancel one of the bookings and then immediately rebook the seats?
