A few weeks ago, I took a trip to the Maldives and stayed at two of the country's most exclusive resorts: The Ritz-Carlton Maldives and Patina Maldives. Both properties are located in the Fari Islands, a four-island man-made archipelago in the North Male Atoll, based a 45-minute boat ride from Velana International Airport. Read my trip reports here:

Today: Edelweiss Air Airbus A340 Business Class from Zürich to Male
A few weeks ago, I traveled with friends to the Maldives. I flew with British Airways onboard a Boeing 777 equipped with the carrier's newest Business Class cabin with sliding doors (I'll publish my trip report & video of this journey next week). My friends traveled in Business Class with Edelweiss Air, a Swiss leisure airline and a sister company of Swiss International Air Lines (also known as SWISS). I asked my friends to take some videos & photos of their onboard experience (I believe they did a pretty good job, so kudos to them).
For its longhaul flights, Edelweiss Air uses A340 aircraft, which feature a Business Class cabin that is similar to the one offered by SWISS (albeit styled in a different design). A major difference with SWISS though is Edelweiss Air's onboard soft product, which feels less sophisticated (especially when it comes to the rather disappointing onboard catering). That said, Edelweiss Air offers one of the best value Business Class products on many leisure routes, with fares that are often significantly lower compared to the cost charged by other airlines on the same route.
