How to get there?
It is convenient and profitable to fly Chisinau-Male or Bucharest-Male, but you need to take into account that there are no direct flights in this direction, only with transfers.
The most comfortable option is to take a Turkish Airlines flight, where meals are provided on board. If the transplant in Istanbul is delayed, then you will also be provided with food. If the transfer in Istanbul takes more than eight hours, then you will also be provided with a hotel room. But, as practice and experience show, Turkish Airlines planes fly quite often, so there are almost never long transfers.
The duration of the flight is 11-12 hours.
Alternatively, you can fly from Bucharest with one of the following airlines: Emirates, Qatar Airways, Air France or Condor Airlines. The last airline is not very convenient, but on board meals and luggage are included in the price, pretty good service.
The cheapest low-cost airlines
Flydubai - flies from Bucharest with a transfer in Dubai. Tickets are much cheaper, but there is no food on board, and only hand luggage is included in the price. The main luggage is paid separately. Relatively good connections, you do not have to wait long for a transfer.
Wizz Air flies from Bucharest with a stopover in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. This is the cheapest option, but there are disadvantages: they don’t feed on board and the docking is very long - up to a day. This option is great for those who want to make a stop in the United Arab Emirates and see new and interesting places along the way.
A speedboat or seaplane will take you from the airport to your hotel.
When ordering a tour at a travel agency, you can count on a meeting at the airport and the subsequent flight by seaplane - that is, you will be taken to your hotel.
When traveling independently, we recommend that you book a boat on the website https://www.atolltransfer.com/. You can also use the services of local airlines Trans Maldivian Airways and Maldivian Seaplane, which make domestic flights.
