I purchased my airfare around Black Friday sale (2021) to save as much money on Business Class as possible. My flight experience that you are about to watch cost $4700 + $500 in travel insurance to ensure COVID didn’t cost me extra money. The best part of this trip was the EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHT and Lounge access.The first flight was from JFK to Dubai which took almost 13 hours.There was a 2 Hour Layover in DXB which went very quickly as I made my way from Terminal A to Terminal C. The second flight was 4 hours from Dubai to Maldives. I am almost 6’7″ and I have a big frame so I need as much space as possible.The EMIRATES A380-800 accommodates very well with a spacious, comfortable and quiet economy class, and enhances that with the most comfortable and pampered Business and First classes. I was constantly offered drinks, alcoholic drinks, water, food, snacks round the clock during the flight. I had excellent leg room, hip room and shoulder room. I was stretched out watching movies and completely enjoyed the flight.The EMIRATES 777 business class offered the older seat design. It was not as comfortable as the A380, but the stewardess service was still top notch. The FLY DUBAI 737 Max business class was much tighter, and less comfortable, but still far more comfortable and enjoyable than being stuck in the 737’s cramped economy class. EMIRATES offers lounges at the airports. JFK had a nice lounge experience akin to a 4 star hotel, while Dubai’s Emirate’s lounge offers a 5 star hotel experience with a wider, larger, more quiet lounge, more workers on hand, sleeper couches, electronic recharging points and a full shower, spa, massage, salon, hotel suites and other services available. It made my 5 hour layover pass quickly. Personally, I love SEYCHELLES more than MALDIVES. Prices for staying in either were roughly the same. The big difference, however was the culture. Maldives is an Islamic country while Seychelles is Catholic.Buying alcohol in Maldives is prohibited.The women who came with me to Maldives had bikini restrictions that they wouldn’t have had in Seychelles.The entire place closes during Ramadan till 6pm.Most of the women here wear hijab or burqas.Maldives resort services, however are unmatched. The luxury resorts cost between $1000 and $3000 a day (per person) but have the most beautiful furnishings you’ve ever seen and unmatched bare-foot luxury. Some of the most exclusive resort villas run up to $30,000 a day. I’m just glad to have tackled both countries as many people dream of coming here but never do.The next time I do a trip like this, may be BORA BORA in 2024.I have edited this video and I may post the private resort island clips in a separate, smaller video.Maldives is great for COUPLES and honeymoons. It is arguably good for some single travelers to hook up, but because of the large number of island resorts and the inaccessibility between them, meeting new people is far more difficult than in resorts that aren’t archipelagos.
