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?

    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.

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.

My wife with 5 month son were traveling. No proper support was provided for luggage handling. Although it was requested in prior. My wife sole manage everything and was not as expected.

This was an old 320 without a screen or USB charging port even in the business class. The food could have been better.

a real good flying experince. Everything was excellent right from check-in to baggage collection at destination.

Food is tasting bad, and it is a fusion but not authentic.

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

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.

Indigo attempts to make you pay for a seat during check in. I opted to not do this. The result - they allotted me and my minor son seats apart. In the interest of making maximum money, they seem to have lost common sense too. Similarly, even during the flight, the crew are busy trying to serve food to those who’ve already paid for it. By the time they’re done, it’s time to land and no one else is able to get anything. Sadly this seems to be what makes them profitable, customers just need to bear with it till a better airline comes along.

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.

The Air India lounge in Delhi , was very disappointing! The food was of poor quality and options were limited especially for vegetarians!! Beverages were fine. The in flight crew was excellent! . They helped me with my seat controls - the controls did not work without a hassle or assistance!! A very poor showing for a Business cabin!!! Post flight , the wheel chair passengers ( including Me) were “ shepherded and left waiting twice (an hour or more) before taking us to immigration! I chose to Fly Air India because I want. to patronize our National carrier with the hope that the experience will improve!!! Regrettably, I will have to look at other options for my next trip to India

Mediocre staff, crappy food selections and no entertainment for a 14 hour flight. The only good thing was that it was a direct flight.

Entertainment system was not working and was told I would get a voucher and have not got one. No toiletries were available not even a toothbrush false sweet talk by ground staff

Not comfortable for sitting. Sits are too close to each other and it’s too hard for butt..you need to improve your entertainment section like tv programming, Movies, it’s so hard to kill 15 hrs in long flights .you don’t serve good food like other competitive airlines thats my opinion

Worst International flight I ever had in my whole life time. Boarding is the worst of all and flight experience was also not good. Screens were not working, seats were not comfortable and lot more.

Comfortable seats, on time departures and arrival, and helping staff

Very very impressed with the proactive care and alertness with which ABHISHEK Chowdhary took care of us. Quietl,dignified , very alert, and meticulous. Very impressed. Also with SUNiL Kumar who was there for us in a very helpful way. SHERLY ALEX On Flight 119, BOM TO JFK CUSTOMER ON SEAT 21C, 21ST March 2024

If you are traveling to mumbai -- must try SFO - MUM direct flight. It's a game changer when you are traveling to India. Timings are well designed, optimal and makes the travel enjoyable.

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).
