I am thinking of bidding on a package in the maldives which includes sea plane transport to Male, Anyone know where I would get to Male from California ?
Thank you !

When I started dreaming of the LL Maldive resorts--I looked at going from LAX to MLE via Singapore and or Taipei on Singapore Airlines. Ive also seen flights thru Kuala Lumpur on Malaysia. Thta's just my recall from looking in both directions--we're closer to NY but I ck'd LA, too.
I think there are some members here who have a better ideas. I tend to stay withing a certain group of airlines. Good question and I can't wait to see what others wil offer.

PS--does anyone know--is it 1 Maldive island or 2 Maldives ((plural?)

From California (LAX or SFO) to MLE (Male, Maldives) there are a couple of flight options, none of which is a short flight,

-as already mentioned Singapore Air (with stops in Singapore and Taipei, or a nonstop flight to Singpaore)...but SIN does offer a premium economy class (bigger seat, more room) that may be worth looking into.



-Malaysia Air (stops in Taipei and Kulala Lumpur)



- Thai Air nonstop to Bangkok, and then connect with a seperate flight on Bangkok Air to Male



- Emirates Air...the long way 'round via Dubai





Singapore Air is probably the nicest and quickest option, but not inexpensive.
