A little while ago, we posted a price mistake fare from the Maldives to New York City on Emirates for $101 one-way. We also noted that you could do a stopover in Dubai for a total of $124 one-way. It turns out you could fly round trip from the Maldives to New York for $142. Secret Flying is also reporting similarly cheap one-way fares to many other US and European cities for a hundred and change dollars. Again, I give this fare a low probability of being honored. That said, Etihad honored a fare of $187 RT from NY to Abu Dhabi a couple of years ago (I got in on that one), so it’s not impossible that this gets honored.

Here is round trip from the Maldives to New York for $142 (see the earlier deal for one-way and stopovers):

More Cities One-way

The fare works to many cities in Europe. Here is the Maldives to Geneva, Stockholm, and Vienna (click the pic to go to Google Flights):

Here is Frankfurt and Manchester (some dates also work to Paris for a bit more):

Tampa, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Detroit:

Again, hold off on plans

As I said earlier, hold off on making plans — they may not honor these flights. However, it might be worth a gamble to take a shot. Also remember that you should be able to cancel for 24 hours if booking through an online travel agency. Best of luck!
