Monsey Take Out is okay.

Excellent pastrami sandwich, for all other things I prefer Nussies or Rockland Kosher takeout.

It's a misnomer, there is no single week. Jan-Feb are always jammed.

Was there last weekend. Went to Rustiko motzei shabbos but they said was a 2 hour wait to get seated aside from another 45 minutes to get your food. Went across the street to Kosh instead.

Effective from 15th November until further notice, you are required to present a PCR test result as a part of your departure requirements; our resort can facilitate this process. We have partnered with private hospitals in Male City to provide this service at US$ 80 per person per test. An advance notice of 72 hours before the departure date is required.

That's a lot cheaper that SR is charging:

"On-site PCR testing charges will be USD 165.00 subject to 23.2% Service Charge & T-GST per person."

What date did you fly?
Was it first class?

This was back in August, was not first class.

When I flew on a DL plane that was 2-2, if you chose one of the seats the one next to you was blocked.

When everyone is done selling, PM me for complementary gold status if you have over 5k posts.

I have one more to give away if anyone over 3k wants.

I heard something about Maldives restricting food on arrival due to Covid. Did anyone hear of such a thing? Wasn't able to find anything about it online.

Does anyone know if you'll get miles refunded when canceling the return after first part is already flown?
