Trying to book Qatar Airways Qsuite from JFK to Maldives (MLE) for Feb 2027 using Avios, but only seeing availability at 170k points one-way.

I’ve been checking consistently for the past month, and saver/classic awards (~70k) haven’t shown up at all.

At this point, I’m debating whether to keep waiting it out and hope saver space opens, or just lock in the 170k before availability gets worse.

For those with experience booking Qsuite awards, do saver seats typically drop later, or is this a sign they won’t release much for these dates? Would you wait or just book now?

Appreciate any advice 🙏

Hello,

My wife and I are traveling to Alila Kothaifaru Maldives in the second week of Feb for our honeymoon. We’ve booked a Beach Villa using Hyatt points and have Guest of Honor (GOH) certificate applied to the reservation. One of the GOH benefits is a complimentary room upgrade subject to availability, and we’re hoping to be upgraded to an overwater bungalow.

Would you recommend waiting until arrival to see if an upgrade is available, or is there a high likelihood that overwater villas will be fully booked during that time? Trying to decide whether we should proactively upgrade in advance or take the chance with availability.
