If you are up for a TR that would be amazing but even if not, I’d love to hear about your experience here. Hope you have an awesome trip!
Definitely a TR. I'll be in BKK, USM and SIN before. A long South Asia trip.

I don’t mind doing that, but I’m only passing through for a week on the way to the Maldives. Do you know if a caterer that would provide the food. I don’t mind wrapping it up myself

Sunset is the best because it’s on the outside part of the circle so you have the most privacy. If your confirmed in a owb They will usually upgrade you to a sunset if it’s available.

Im trying to book MLE-AUH-ORD using AA miles on EY business. Each segment is showing up separately on AA and EY guest, but i cant get any agent to book them together. I assume im running into some type of married segments rules. Has anyone had success getting around it?

Try holding one segment and calling back to add the other. May take HUCA.

Planning my August trip to MLE, I have 5 nights in OWB at the W, I arrive the previous evening on the CX flight from HKG. Is my best option to stay at the Sheraton Moon so that I don't need to stay in Male for the night?
