The Maldives is the ultimate tropical escape for UK travellers — a scattering of coral islands with overwater villas, powder-white sand and some of the clearest turquoise water on Earth. Perfect for honeymoons, diving and pure relaxation, it's a bucket-list favourite. Comparing every fare in one place makes finding the right flight quick and simple.
The dry season from November to April is the most popular, with sunshine, calm seas and superb diving visibility. The May–October wet season brings occasional storms and lower prices. Fares peak sharply over Christmas, New Year and February half-term, so travelling in quieter weeks stretches your budget further. Check the price charts on this page for the cheapest dates.
The main gateway is Malé Velana International Airport (MLE), from which resorts are reached by speedboat or seaplane, with Gan (GAN) in the south also served.
British Airways operates direct flights from London to Malé (seasonal on some dates), taking around 10.5 hours. For connecting options — often better value — Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Turkish Airlines and SriLankan Airlines all serve Malé via their hubs. Comparing carriers for your exact dates is the surest way to secure the lowest fare.
Your allowance to Maldives depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
