Ok great, thanks for the confirmation on lounge access.

I agree the trip to Maldives will be once in a lifetime, maybe haha. We got married less than a year ago and technically honeymoon’ed in Aruba, but hey why not take a second honeymoon. We’re going to Vietnam to visit family after Maldives, so this will be quite a long trip.

Ok so in summary, it looks like the first recommendation was slightly for KLM and yours is for AF, But I agree 1 connection vs 2 is superior. I just wanted to make sure about premiums seats (ex. Free comfort plus, and whether there’s a 5% chance of a first class upgrade vs 0% type of thing). Any comment on that, is there a snow balls chance at a first class upgrade with either airline as a Platinum?
