Airline and stops
Etihad Airways operates this route with one stop. It's not direct, but one stopover is standard on this route and usually fits schedules well. Always check where the stop is and how long it lasts so you can plan without surprises.
Best time to go
Maldives is tropical. Plan around the weather you prefer: dry season (November to April) is most comfortable and also pricier. Rainy season (May to October) is cheaper but wetter. Bear in mind prices spike during Christmas, New Year and school holidays, so avoid those if you're hunting for deals.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Velana International Airport (MLE) in the capital, Malé. Maldives is about luxury and nature: snorkelling and diving in coral reefs, private island resorts, white sand beaches and crystal water. On your first trip, book excursions through your hotel. Most travellers go for all-inclusive resorts, so arrange that in advance.
