Don’t be put off by flying via The Maldives, there is no need to change aircraft, it just stops in Male to drop off/pick up passengers and is on the ground for aprox just 55 minutes. Actually landing in the Maldives is quite an experience if you’ve never done it before, just make sure you get a window seat. Check out our photos.
