We make sure to always get some in transit in Singapore and have smuggled it in to Male numerous times to enjoy at the Conrad :P
Great minds think alike!

We had to push hard, and the best they could do was a 9am scheduled departure which ended up being slightly delayed. With the time difference, that put us at MLE airport around 9:30am for our 3pm international flight. But I was able to negotiate free access to the lounge which at least made the 4+ hours tolerable.

If I recall from the hotel-specific thread, you had similar issues?

Also, loving the Laduree!
Thanks, bhamsan01! We were there from November 10th-21st, so the summer weather was just starting, although we did catch a few days of rain in Sydney.

Looking forward to the rest!
Lol! I guess we both learned the hard way to just keep our mouths shut
