FAQs - booking Maldives flights

  • Can I fly direct from Detroit to the Maldives?

    Given the considerable distance and the unique location, there are no direct flights along this route. Most flights will require two stops, one in a U.S. hub, like New York (JFK), Philadelphia (PHL), or Dallas (DFW), and then another at a major international hub like Doha (DOH), Istanbul (IST), or Abu Dhabi (AUH).

  • Which airport in the Maldives should I fly into?

    The Maldives features two main international airports: Velana International Airport (MLE) on Male, and Gan International Airport (GAN) in Addu City. MLE offers proximity to many resorts, while GAN provides access to the southern atolls. Male is the best choice (MLE) when flying in from Detroit. It will give you the most direct and affordable flight options. From here you can connect to wherever your final destination is.

    Your free baggage allowance will depend on the airline you fly with, and the ticket type you choose. In general, the economy fares will have fewer bags included.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to the Maldives

  • Your journey will begin at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW), which is located about 20 miles from downtown. There are two major terminals with different drop-off points, so it’s good to know your departure terminal ahead of time.
  • Certain Turkish Airlines flights on this route may entail an extended layover in Istanbul (IST). For connections exceeding six hours, seize the opportunity for a complimentary city tour they provide. Upon arrival, consult the tour desk for details.
  • With a travel time of over 25 hours, upgrading to Business or First Class can make your journey a lot more comfortable. Etihad Airways gives their passengers the ability to bid on an upgrade to the next class. You can name your price and, if accepted, enjoy luxuries like a fully flat bed and on-demand dining during the flight.
  • The Maldives boasts world-renowned waves across its 1,192 islands, offering endless opportunities for surfers. If you plan to bring your board, Qatar Airways will include it as checked baggage as long as it is less than 6 feet in length. Just ensure that any fins or attachments are removed before packing.
  • On Etihad flights, you’ll enjoy complimentary meals and snacks. If you have any other allergies or dietary requirements, you can request a special meal ahead of time. To request a special meal, order it 24 hours ahead. All onboard meals are Halal, with a vegetarian option automatically provided on flights exceeding three hours. No special request is necessary.

This trip was the most comfortable one I have ever experienced, the team was excellent and very helpful. I am so glad I picked Qatar Airways.

This trip was the most comfortable one I have ever experienced, the team was excellent and very helpful. I am so glad I picked Qatar Airways.

All the crew members were too slow and rude. Most of the times the registers were empty, while hundreds of customers were waiting in line, and it was impossible to get a supervisor. Despite being in line on time, I missed my freight, plus a some customers who were ahead and behind me.

Well organized boarding, efficient and on time. Nice crew on the plane. Thank you!

The Qatar Airways staff pre-boarding and also on the flight from Dallas to Doha were incredibly mediocre and arrogant. Consider retraining these individuals Other flights were ok.

My experience with Qatar airway was very unsatisfactory. They lost my child’s stroller and I was told they found it and will send it to the hotel which was a lie. I had to go back to the airport baggage claim and pick up myself after trying to contact them many times!. There was a lack professional and communication. I am very disappointed in Qatar airway and will not be recommending them to friends and family nor will I be flying with them in the future.

Worst air experience in whole life . Boarding and checking was hassle as they did 3 times. Crew team was clueless about passengers need. Despite of passengers raising hand , they were resetting the program

The food is not good and also if you ask crew to bring something they say ok I will bring but you will never get it. Please they should listen good to passengers

No difference between US airline and Qatar. Both cramp as many people. The airline seems to change planes without notice choice is seating when making reservations online doesn’t match the plane a passenger is on. Especially paying extra. Nothing special No different than US carriers.

Did not like anything. Seats were crammed, leg space was minimal and food was terrible. This was the first time traveling overseas in American Airlines and was the worst experience ever. Have learned a lesson to never travel in American Airlines.

Delayed my flights and no communication. We end up spending 6 hrs in Doha. No food or any concern from the airline. Terrible

Ordered Vegan meal - it was ok, but not exceptional. Seat ok row 39 middle section aisle. Nearly full flight - crew was busy but they did the best they could. There was a USB A port at the seat. I listened to my own music and only looked at flight information. One nice thing was the connection information was made available in the screen.

Very nice and friendly crew. Boarding system can be improved.

The Etickets had been changed (Why?) without notice ; Hence, that caused troubles when checking in. Not until I contacted my ticket agent and was given correct Etickets could I then check in.

Cleanliness of seats, trays, storage pockets need more attention, but everything else was good.

A great airline, no complaints at all. My experience with Cheap Tickets was very disappointing however. Two hours after purchasing the flight they called to tell me that the ticket price had gone up. I’ve never heard of such a thing. That is called false advertising; I will never use this ticketing service again and will warn all friends to never use it.

One of the worst check in process at the DIA as well as the boarding counter Changed seat at the last minute and assigned middle seat while I paid for window seat. Requested many times but to no avail . horrible customer service and very poor process Requesting refund for seat that was changed last minute

Good overall flight. Excellent crew. Food options could be improved.

Vegan food tasted good. Restroom could be kept cleaner. Seat tray table was a bit tilted so food tray kept sliding down a bit. Flight crew can be a little more friendly, caring and approachable. Their faces lacked smiles and tone was stern.

Flight was delayed then we had to redirect for medical emergency during which time we had no information on what is the plan. The connecting flight was also delayed.

Professional & courteous cabin crew. Food was very good even in economy class

There were five broken seats on the plane. The crew was very rude in telling people they had to get off the plane and get a flight the next day. No call for volunteers, but telling people they had to get off. One woman was flying with her elderly mother and daughter and was told she had to leave or all three had to leave. Fortunately, a volunteer offered to stay. The situation was handled poorly.

The flight to Tokyo AA61 took off about two hours late, but then had to turn back. By that time the crew had to be replaced. Then they kept promising to take off in an hour, then in 3, then switch to the next day.

British Airways staff are very polite and willing to help.

Any sort of gluten free snack option would be nice

They lost my luggage and it didn’t get delivered until the next day.

Would have thought that they would gas up plane before everyone got on board

3 hours late. Not even water offered on a 2.25 hour flight.

I had a carry on and a personal bag. I put my personal item under my seat and on way to the seat I put my bag up. I usually close my eyes and rest as I was on call for last 36 hours. I heard very loud announcements that someone needs to identify their bag. Pretty sure it was not mine until the hostess pointed out my jacket details attached to the bag. I asked why she got my bag out. I got berated and did not want to create a scene. But this person needs to be talked to.

Everyone was nice. It was on time and the food was. Airplane food, but not horrible

Terrible. The flight was delayed two hours due to weather. Then when we got on the plane, the first pilot ended up timing out and we had to wait for a second pilot. Second pile came on board and we tax it out. Had to return back to the gate because of an unruly passenger. Then the copilot timed out. Had to wait for new copilot. Also had to wait for maintenance to check for fuel. Then found out the second pilot timed out and we had to wait for a third pilot. Was ready to go and then needed maintenance again for another issue. In the end, it was 2 o’clock in the morning when they announced that the flight couldn’t go because the third pilot and the second copilot had timed out.
