Beond Airlines Business Class Review – MLE To MUC
On December 1, I flew from Maldives (MLE) to Munich (MUC) with the new airline Beond Air.
The special thing is that the airline only has business class seats to Maldives.
The flight is paused briefly in Dubai to refuel.
But the short break only lasts 30-40 minutes.
The seats are from Ferrari and incredibly comfortable, in the lie-flat function there is plenty of room to stretch out and turn around.
The food is really on a whole other level.
I have never eaten so well above the clouds.
Service is incredibly courteous and fun.
I can absolutely recommend this airline.

Jealous of your trip.
Mine went a bit different:
Flight this February from Munich to Male and back.
I was excited to experience this new airline.
However, 4 days before our journey started Beond Airlines cancelled our flights!
I called the service center and they offered a connecting flight with ITA Airways via Rome.
It was a bit longer, but my family and I were okay with the change (it can happen).
We arrived a bit later but the business class was a good experience.
On the day of return, we arrived at the gate in Male to find the flight had been canceled again.
The team made us wait until a supervisor came by.
They explained that there are no more business class tickets available and we are being offered an economy ticket with Qatar 9 hours later.
Quickly looking on the various websites it was clear both Qatar and Emirates had business class tickets available.
I called the call center in Dubai to be informed that they were unwilling to purchase business class and we would only be receiving economy class tickets.
I went ahead and purchased the return flights on my own and will be seeking reimbursement and if needed legal support.
So sad.
We go multiple times per year to the Maldives and I was really looking forward to this new airline.
Didn’t get a chance to experience it and will never book it again.

Thanks for sharing Travis!
I was about to book Beond Airways for our honeymoon based on some of the photos I have seen but thanks to your review, I think we are going to fly either Qatar or Emirates to be safe.
Sorry you had such a miserable experience and hopefully you are able to file for EU261 compensation and get some money back from them.
