Airline and stops
You'll travel with Etihad Airways, which offers solid value and service on international routes. The journey includes 1 stop. If you travel on 10 November, departure is at 21:15 from Paris. The return (17 November) departs at 09:35 from Maldives. Although there's one stopover, connection times are usually manageable.
Best time to visit
Maldives shines from November to April, the dry season with minimal rain and clear skies. June to September is monsoon and the cheapest period, but expect more showers. For a balance between weather and price, May, October and late April work well. November, when the example flight is scheduled, is ideal: stable climate and not yet peak season.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Velana International Airport (MLE), the gateway to Maldives. From there, take a water taxi or speedboat to your resort. The Maldives is built for diving, snorkelling and private beaches: colourful coral, tropical fish and crystal-clear waters. You'll also find luxury spas, all-inclusive resorts and trips to uninhabited atolls.
