Which is a better award redemption to the Maldives? Qatar Qsuites or Emirates First Class?
Planning a trip to the Maldives next year in November 2024 around Thanksgiving.
I started searching for the flights and I really want to fly there using Qsuite but haven’t been seeing award availability recently on British Airways or Qatar.
The only available are the Flex rate for 170K one way.
The other option will be Emirates first class on the old 777-300 for 163,000 miles.
If I can’t find any other reasonable redemption, between the 2, which option should I choose?

The catch is it’s gonna be “163,00 miles plus a whole lotta cash for carrier surcharge”, but First Class is pretty much always better than Business as far as the experience goes

We took the new Etihad A350 in business from ORD & really like it.

QSuites is great but doesn’t compare with Emirates First Class

The Emirates 777 has fewer larger first class seats than their A380. I would take Emirates first hands down even if Qatar was less points. We flew Emirates from Chicago to Dubai to Maldives and it was awesome.

Emirates!!! Old suites have way more room and are nicer to relax. New suites have better technology and look and feel but are much smaller. The service and food of Emirates are way better than Qatar. You won’t get the shower but the bathrooms are still big.
