*free bag* Washington, D.C. to the Maldives at $885 RT

We haven't seen prices for the Maldives drop below the $1000s range in literal years, so when these fares came knocking - we had to open the doors real quick! 

Thanks to some code share magic, when you book your flight, you'll see American Airlines listed, but you'll actually be flying in the lap of luxury with 5-star rated Qatar Airways.

Here's the "catch" - on some dates, there might be a bit of a long layover in Doha. But since Qatar's resumed its transit tours, you'll have plenty of time to make the most of your layover (just make sure to reserve your spot early, as these tours tend to fill up quickly).

If you don't mind a little rain, September & October are your best bet to score accommodation deals. But if do you want to soak up as much sunshine as possible, late October through January is the time to go :-)
