Seaplane flights may double the cost of your trip, and there’s no seaplane schedules in the Maldives.
Although your journey from Male airport to your resort island will take only 15 minutes, it will not be inexpensive. The hefty expense of short journeys caught us off guard. Return airfare on a seaplane might cost anything from $800 to $1000 per person in certain situations. This might quadruple your flight expenditure, depending on which country you call home. This is definitely one of the top Things about Maldives You Should Know.
However, the once-in-a-lifetime views are almost worth the price of admission. Don't be surprised if you arrive at Male Airport's seaplane terminal after a 12- or 22-hour journey only to have to wait another four hours for your plane to take off. Why? There is no established schedule for seaplane flights due to the way the flights work and the daily change of pickups and drop-offs. They don't even receive a rough concept of flight routing until the night before the flights. Keep in mind that the Male Airport has few amenities, so those of you who book hotels with airport lounges, such as the W Maldives and the Constance Moofushi, will be able to relax in style.
