We travel to Maldives with the inaugural flight Milan-Malis from Air Italy, the first direct connection that without stops or time losses, in just over a dozen hours, takes you from the wet cold of the Padana Plain to the tropical hot, as humid but by far more pleasant, of the Maldives.

If then, as it happened to us, you also have the luck of a Business Class upgrade, as the flight is nocturnal, it ends that you fall asleep shortly after taking off in the comfortable seats completely retractable and wake you up when you already spot the first atolls.
