The state of the Maldives is located on a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. The most convenient way to get there is by air; for a trip for up to 30 days, Russians do not need an entry visa, it is enough to have a valid foreign passport.
Instructions
Step 1
Purchase an air ticket to the airport of Male, the capital of the Republic of Maldives. Non-stop flights to Hulule airport are operated by Transaero and Aeroflot airlines. The total flight time is approximately 8 hours 30 minutes, the most favorable fares are provided by Transaero. You can buy tickets online on the airlines' websites. To do this, you need to register and enter the passport data of passengers. Payment is made by credit card on the website, at the airline's office or through payment terminals.
Step 2
Take advantage of the services of foreign airlines to travel to the Maldives with one stopover. Such flights are offered by Etihad Airways, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, British Airways, Swiss Airways, Austrian Airlines, Air Berlin. The total travel time is thirteen hours or more, it depends on the waiting time for a connecting flight at the intermediate landing airport. Oddly enough, the cost of air tickets is slightly higher than non-stop flights of Transaero and Aeroflot.
Step 3
Create your own flight itinerary using the services of two airlines. This will save you waiting time at the stopover airport and save money as many airlines run promotions and ticket sales. For example, you can fly by an Aeroflot plane to Frankfurt am Main, and there you can transfer to a Condor Flugdeinist Gmbh plane. The total travel time will be about 16 hours, but the cost of the flight will be much less than, for example, Swiss Airways. Remember that if you want to visit the sights of the city where the stopover is made, you need to obtain an appropriate transit visa. When planning your route, allow for a couple of extra hours between flights.
