Planning for Maldives vacation in December. Marriott properties (St. Regis, W...) look amazing value on points but the sea plane transfer is ridiculously expensive, more than a flight ticket from anywhere in Asia. Any other resort recommendations?

Go to the W. It is spectacular. I was there for 8 days the last week before lockdown and cannot wait to go back when they open up again in October.

Loved the W

Every resort will have an outrageous transfer fee. They all use trans-Maldivian airways for the seaplane transfer.

Nice 👍

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
