FAQs - booking Maldives flights

  • What direct flights are there to the Maldives?

    You can take a direct flight to the Maldives from India, with there being various departure airports to choose from. You can fly directly to Male Airport from Mumbai Airport, New Delhi Airport (DEL), or Chennai Airport (MAA), which gives you flexibility as to where you leave from. There are also indirect flights to both Addu City and Kudahuvadhoo Dhaalu Airport (DDD), but these take far longer.

  • What are popular layovers on flights from India to the Maldives?

    Even though you can get direct flights to the Maldives from India, it might occasionally be easier to take an indirect flight. This means a stopover will be required. Common layover locations include Mumbai Airport (BOM), which is used by Air India, and Bengaluru Airport (BLR), which is often used by IndiGo.

  • What is a suitable airport to fly into to visit the Maldives island of Rasdhoo?

    Many visitors go to Rasdhoo each year to see blacktip and whitetip reef sharks, which are famous in this area. If you want to get to this island quickly, then you should fly into Male Airport, from which you can get a boat to Rasdhoo, taking about 1h 20min.

  • Which Indian airport is best to fly from?

    There are many great airports you can depart from in India on your flight to the Maldives. However, if you fly from Mumbai Airport (BOM) you are likely to benefit from lower fares and more regular and direct flights. This is because it is a hub for Vistara.

  • Which airlines operate a direct flight from India to the Maldives?

  • How can I get from Male Airport (MLE) to Male?

    Upon landing, it’s easy to get to Male from the terminal. One of the most popular ways to travel is to get the ferry from the airport pier. This takes about 10 minutes and is relatively inexpensive. Alternatively, you can get a taxi from the front of the airport, which takes a similar amount of time, but costs more.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to the Maldives

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Maldives flight deals.
  • The Maldives is an archipelagic state that has 185 inhabited islands. Depending on which one you plan to visit, you will need to plan your trip accordingly. For example, you can fly to either Male Airport (MLE), which is the capital city, or Addu City Airport (GAN) from Mumbai Airport (BOM). Flying to Male tends to be quicker and will also give you access to other islands via boat, so this could be a good option for you.
  • After landing at Male Airport (MLE), you can reach other islands in the archipelago with ease. Just follow signs to the Sea Plane Terminal at the airport, where you can continue your journey to the island resort you’re heading to.
  • Indian citizens that are visiting the Maldives must ensure that their passport has at least six months remaining on it to enter the country. You must also have a confirmed return ticket and proof of accommodation on the islands. As for a visa, you will not need to get one before you arrive. You will be granted a 30-day single-entry visa for the purposes of tourism or business upon arrival.
  • If you are booking flights to the Maldives during Ramadan, it is likely that ticket prices will be more expensive as a result of the religious festival. With all the country’s citizens being Muslim, it is a very important celebration on the island. Unless you are visiting for this purpose, it’s recommended you book either side of the festival for better ticket prices.
  • No matter which airport you choose to land at, whether it's Male Airport or Addu City Airport, you will have access to great beaches almost immediately. From Male Airport, for instance, you can get to Hulhumale Public Beach in about 13min by car. Whereas from Addu City, you can reach Gauken’di Beach in around 17min by car. However, if you want to access beaches on other islands, then you should travel to Male, where you can get a boat to various locations.

Excellent experience and now my preferred airline. Even a fantastic meal with dessert in a 2 hour flight.

Excellent experience and now my preferred airline. Even a fantastic meal with dessert in a 2 hour flight.

off late the crew and the air in the flight is becoming that of a budget airline not the earlier Vistara .

It wasn't clear from where to board flight international or domestic Airport

Information was not clear from where to check in international or domestic Airport at Ahmedabad.

The deplaning experience was bad, since they did not get the aerobridge at Madras on arrival and the bus felt like a local train during office hour rush

i bought a biz class fare but a few days before vistara always changes my biz class flight to economy .. happened to me 4 times .. seated could be wider .. boarding could be more organized .. crew did their best but not enough resources all in all very poor experience

Qatar said few times that the luggage will be at the final destination but they were wrong. Please check where your port of entry is at the destination. This is where the luggage would be. The food was terrible.

Comfortable seats, service, food and responses of crews member was polite and way they were talking with customer was very professional.

They need to be more accommodative when folks have a connecting flight and that too under the same ownership.

I have been taken about 500 flights over the last 22 years or so and I would say that in terms of cleanliness and interior maintenance this particular plane was by far the poorest one I had. The upholstery and carpet was downright dirty and poor. Practically every single video system was nonfunctional. Practically every single food tray was bent and could not hold the food tray. On and on. Its a joke to even be asking feedback. Air Indi needs to be embarrassed to be putting out this level of service.

I like nothing, we couldn’t utilize your booking. Unfortunately I lost my money with you.

Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "I missed my onward international flight due to this airline. They refused to take any responsibility and I am now stuck in Mumbai having to miss work, spend more money and get another flight"
Pros: "The plane noise level during flight was around 78db."
Cons: "No leg room at all for people above 6ft. I sat down n the guy in front reclined n crushed my knees. All food items u need to purchase. Price for an extra check-in bag was same as price of 1 ticket. Horrible."
Cons: "No Delays in flight......one hour delay is too much"
Pros: "Seats were ok. 300 one is too much to buy seat."
Cons: "The business class was cheap. Didn’t expect such poor quality."
Pros: "Crew was amazing"
Cons: "More options of food not the ready to eat ones"
Pros: "Flight on time and services"
Cons: "If we have usb charging option that cab be added advantage"

Very good crew, very efficient. Unfortunately not all items listed in duty free catalog were available.

Many changes need to be addressed from airport check in to flight departure. If they observe other major airlines, then they can expect what Sri Lankan airlines need to update their procedures.

Very professional and well managed. On time, great staff and comfortable.

Smooth takeoff and landing. Best service experience in all our travels over the years. Caring and attentive crew. Loved our flight to and fro.

not looking like a national flag carrier.. both the ground team and flight team are far from being kind and helpful. Not sure what's wrong.

Kayak company fake total I m not travel my payment reverse plzzz my credit card

I m not good serves poor serves I m m fake company kayak ok plzz my help my ticket cancel my tripe ok

Terrible experience. Unexpected wait due to staff delay was not taken proper care. Food inflight could be better where as flight attendees on flight hospitality was 100%

Aircraft used fir this route was pretty old. Seats 💺 were hard & difficult to reclaim although it was flat bed

Because of the bubble agreement b/w India and Srilanka, I was not allowed to board the flight to Columbo. My experience about airport representatives was good. They were through in their job and saved my family from getting stuck in Columbo (as I would not be able to fly to Doha because of bubble agreement). So by their prompt attention, such a catastrophe was avoided. For this reason, even without flying with them, I would rate them 7/10.

As usual invariably delayed Lots of time in getting chkd in baggage

Staff needs to be trained in managing customers better. Indigo appears to be a low cost airlines in all aspects.

Flight was delayed and also lots of mosquitoes on the flight

Two times the gate was changed and flight got delayed

INDIGO Never On Time & Always Prefer to Shuttle Passengers Like shuttle Corks

I did not like the communication gap existing amongst the staff and the customer. My flight to Nagpur was delayed by two and half hours but it was informed to me on email ( not by W.A. or SMS) when I have already left my home in Baner area. I was painfully detained at airport with luggage when the gate no. 10 was changed to 5. I'll never recommend your flight to anybody.

Seats don't recline, no charging points. New aircraft and very clean. Crew should serve some water atleast.

Wife and I were seated in separate seats across the aisle

There was inordinate delay without any plausible reason. This has become a normal feature of Indigo now a days.

Flight was inordinately delayed, which has become normal with Indigo. Crews were inattentive. After landing there was a lot of time for arrival of chek in baggage

On time boarding, proper information, friendly and cordial approach of staff, particularly crew members and the most important timely available of checked in baggage after arrival.

Air India needs to launch new planes. Seats are worn out, most of the plane's TV screens wasn't working, USB charging ports wasn't working as well so I can charge my phone & watch my download movies, Food was mediocre, the plane smells. How can Air India put through their customers with this bad experience? This complaint needs to get escalated to the upper management. How shameful is the upper management to improve this plane? The flight is going back & forth from NEW YORK & DELHI. Two of the big cities in the world and this is how your experience is for sitting in a plane for 12+ hrs? Get your planes fixed ASAP Air India (TATA Management do your job right).

One of my worst experiences. Nothing was working in the flight. Entertainment system was broken, seat was very uncomfortable, crew did not offer water until food was provided, lights were not working, attendant call was not working. In short everything was broken and duct taped.

Air India need a big change of in all departments.

Boarding and crew were nice Food was normal No entertainment was on the flight. Neither TV screen was there nor Wi-Fi connection to the mobile phone or iPad was there. Even the budget wing of AIR INDIA ie AIR INDIA EXPRESS provided us Wi-Fi connectivity on our mobile phone in their DOMESTIC SECTOR. So not providing Wi-Fi connectivity on international flight was unthinkable.

Old aircraft, crew were so so. Meals were mediocre. Flight to delhi was delayed. Lounge needs update and was mediocre too.

The aircraft was very old, felt like poor economy seats. Entertainment was not working. Plug point was broken. For the coat of a business class ticket, I was very disappointed and dissatisfied. Crew on flight to Mumbai were good, on way back they were mediocre

Bathrooms were horrible and no cleaning. Announced baggage claim carousel as one but came to a different one. People were waiting

Bathrooms were horrible. No cleaning and floor was full of tissues. Understand that passengers responsibility to keep it clean but crew should check if tissues are there or not. Also, they announced that baggage will be at one carousel but came to a different one.

Every thing was so old…. Can’t believe they are able to charge so much for this terrible level of service will use alternate company in future for all travel needs
