Smiles abounded&nbsp;and people genuinely looked like they were \u201cchecking in to paradise\u201d as the sign&nbsp;gleefully&nbsp;read.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through security and into the Marhaba Lounge where Maldivian dignitaries and Luxury Escapes staff, media and passengers were treated to nibbles, drinks and a cake cutting to celebrate the flight&#8217;s departure.&nbsp;At the gate itself, guests boarded&nbsp;under a Luxury Escapes arch and received white caps embroidered with the inaugural MEL-MLE route.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up,&nbsp;up&nbsp;and away&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are heading to overwater bliss on an Airbus A330-200 with a 2-4-2 configuration. My seat 14G is on the aisle; it has a good amount of legroom and its own Luxury Escapes-branded headrest and in-flight magazine. Printed menus have a welcome message from Luxury Escapes CEO Adam Schwab,&nbsp;and offer stir-fried chicken with egg fried rice or&nbsp;casarecce&nbsp;with a mushroom cream sauce; I opt for the latter which comes with chunks of mushroom and cooked spinach and gets a plane food&nbsp;thumbs&nbsp;up. Drinks&nbsp;remain&nbsp;soft in line with Maldivian religious beliefs.&nbsp;The captain announces a flight time of 10 hours and 50 minutes \u2013 destination, in his words, &#8220;the sunny side of life&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After supper, most of my fellow passengers seem keen to get as much sleep as possible and the peace in the cabin makes this easier for all. A breakfast of banana bread with a berry coulis arrives just before&nbsp;touch&nbsp;down and we arrive into Mal\u00e9 on time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best parts of the flight is the cabin crew who are happy,&nbsp;efficient&nbsp;and attentive across the whole flight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard

to sit around in reception, but early check-in and late check-out are built into the Luxury Escapes Maldives <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/campaign\/maldives-direct\">hotel and flight bundles<\/a>. You&#8217;ll step off the plane and straight into paradise, and wring every last hour out of the other end too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immigration and customs take no time at all,&nbsp;and we are soon fist bumping a red dolphin wearing&nbsp;plane wings who is entertaining passengers as we wait for our bags to arrive&nbsp;(the carousel also has gifts of surfboard-riding dolphin plushies). It is a quick 25-minute speed boat trip to&nbsp;Centara&nbsp;Grand Lagoon Maldives, one of the newest resorts in the region opened just last year. Welcome drinks, a cold&nbsp;towel&nbsp;and&nbsp;a&nbsp;buggy to breakfast, then a short stroll to my new overwater home. There waiting for me is my bottle of bubbles; glass in hand I test the pool water and slip in for a refreshing dip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The usual thought arrives when you are having a fabulous resort moment: what is everyone else up to?
