"I know some of you reading this have experienced EY Apartments and the like, but I feel like one’s first premium cabin experience always stands out as special. "

Truth.

What good memories. Not only was MLE our first points-trip, but we were fortunate enough to fly EY F. "Turning left" is a direction like no other

Room does look gorgeous. But just wait till you see what MLE looks like in the daytime.

Enjoy it. It'll be over before you know it.

...and then you'll have to do BOB

Do you guys really see it as free??? points cost money and are sold for money and they are hard earned. When I book a flight on points all I can think about is how much is it costing me!

I didn't get into the point-creating business to make money. I got into it to make experiences.

If you're always worried about money, you'll never have a chance to live.

Not to take away from the awesomeness of everything else in that post, but do the QR A350 J seats really not have an arm rest on one side??

I originally emailed the hotel about bringing meals, they told me that the charge would be $20 per meal to store and heat up and it’ll come with new dishes. Once I told them that I didn’t need the dishes, they knocked the price down to $15. I plan on trying to get it all waived anyways, so we’ll see what happens.

The hotel offered you a great service of storing meals and heating them up for 15 dollars. You accepted. Why would you want to try to get the charge waived? The more people drive them nuts about it, they will stop doing it. So you might save a few dollars but punish the next jews going there. You spend so much money/points going there, stop being the 'cheap jew' and enjoy it

Saw this coming, like, in 1999.

Chuchem only comes out of the woodwork for MLE TR's and waits for someone to make a comment like this, and then... BAM!

Was going to write this too. I'm happy I am not alone with these thoughts.
Enjoy your trip & lets make sure others can too

AJK I am sorry I have a life besides for DDF and dont have 23000 posts yet.

I will keep on helping people in private with MLE ideas and trip prep, like i did by you

I love the maldives, and this is one of the things I follow... I think its great how in a muslim country they try to accommodate our needs and it would be a pity to loose this... Cen lounge in Dallas stopped, PH Paris stopped, all because some people feel entitled and instead of saying thanks demanded more and more
