I've flown from Rome (Italy) to Male' (Maldives) by Emirates, through Milan Malpensa and Dubai. In the pictures, Emirates' Boeing 777-300 at Rome Fiumicino.


The airplane is confortable enough for this medium range flight, every seat has a built-in display for movies, flight information and flight camera view.


	I arrive in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) just before 1am. The airport is nice and has many interesting shops.


The Airbus A330-200 is ready to board the passengers flying from Dubai to Male'.


Unlike the flight from Italy to Dubai, now the seats are narrower, but this is just a 4 hours flight.


Alle the seats has a video display. On the left, the flightcam with a pilot's view just before taking off from Dubai.


The last leg to my final destination is operated by a Maldivian Air Taxi's DHC-6 Twin Otter, float equipped.


The passenger's cabin is equipped with large windows for spectacular views over the islands. On the right, other floatplanes are ready to leave for the resorts.


The floatplane makes one stop at Fesdu, Ari atoll, to disembark several passengers, before continuing to Thudufushi.


	The flight to Male' is spectacular. On the pictures, from top-left clockwise: Thudufushi, a deserted island, Athuruga.


Male', the capital, seen just before landing.


The main cockpit and the overhead panel of the Twin Otter.


Where it lands a few minutes later.


The floatplane is approaching Thudufushi's lagoon.


	The Emirates' flight back to Dubai and Italy leaves in the middle of the night. In the meanwhile I have some hour to tour Male' and to take a rest in a dayroom.
