This thread brings back memories of my 2012 Maldives holiday. I stayed at the now defunct Hilton Irufushi and the highlight of the whole vacation was getting transferred from the seaplane terminal to the empty customs desk in an S class and boarding the two class 77W through the stairs with the wind blowing in my face, then settling into my window J seat. Never been more relaxed in my life and to this day despite having travelled the tropics a ton.
