sfancy

Hi All,

My hubby/baby and i are looking to go to the maldives at the beginning of september for 10 days/ 2 weeks Do you know of any cheap web sites that specifically do some good deals to the maldives? Also, is it better to book in advnace or last minute? thanks so much!

Hi we booked with Key2Holidays (just google and they'll come up) they were really good I phoned them and they beat a few quotes that we had got. We went to Meeru for a week then onto Sri Lanka for another week. The family are 2 Adults and 2 Teenage girls (all classed as adults).
The Maldives are brilliant the family had such a fantastic time make sure you pack snorkling stuff it's like swimming in your own Aquarium it's that clear.
If you can afford it take a sea plane wow is the only word I can think of!

Check out Travelzoo, they have lots of links to Maldives 'bargain' holidays.

Forgot to say, don't ignore the perceived 'expensive' TOs like Kuoni or Hayes & Jarvis - they quite often have some cracking special offers.

First Choice (& Eclipse Direct) also offer a good selection of islands with flights with decent legroom that can exceed that of some scheduled carriers.

try dreamticket.com....when we went a couple of years ago they had the best price...i checkedvarious other providers and they were all more expensive...not sure whether that is still the case

I agree. I have used Kuoni twice for the Maldives, and on both occasions they were the best value. In terms of airlines, I would avoid Monarch on this route at all costs. It is a special holiday, treat yourself to a special airline like Emirates.
