Again dreaming of travel and came across this great price to Male (Maldives).
- Flights in peak times are usually $1000+
- Air Asia is your carrier with smallish stopovers in KL.
- Dates vary from mid April to late May but see link for more info.

To enter Maldives no pre-arrival visa is required. A thirty day free Tourist visa is issued on arrival for all Nationalities (some exceptions).

    Nice find..

  • [Deactivated] on 05/02/2017 - 18:57

    I saw the same location (from Adelaide) with Cathay Pacific at around $802 so probably worth looking at cost from Melbourne.

  • robbo135 on 05/02/2017 - 19:05

    Does the price include luggage? If not it'll add another $120 to the price.

      Air Asia Bag info here. Either way you should be able to pack light. Male is located pretty much on the equator. Temperatures are constant/predictable and generally between 28/29 degrees. There is no need to pack extra jackets, pants and other heavy items. Pack smart and you'll make the limit IMO. Packing/Travel Hacks here.

      Unless you are 5 feet tall, you need to pay another $160 for Hot Seat selection

    One of those places where you need to check out hotel prices before you book the flight!

  • Iwantthatbargain on 05/02/2017 - 21:50

    I booked a flight on Air Asia, I have around 3 hours 40 mins layover at KLIA2, is there anything I can do in Kuala Lumpur ? Is there enough time to go to city and do some sight seeing?

    • lomie on 05/02/2017 - 21:59

      No. It takes too long to get to the city and back.

      just eat and lie down. theres plenty of places you can have a semi-sleep below duty free

  • justhooked on 05/02/2017 - 22:10

    Looking at booking this can anyone tell me the best location to book a hotel also is transfers easy to organise from the airport

    Thanks

    I reckon Low Cost Carrier "deals" should not be allowed on OzB?

    • railspider on 06/02/2017 - 00:07

      Why not? I'll gladly suffer through less leg-room and a stopover if it means saving $500 on a flight.

  • donotuse on 06/02/2017 - 01:09

    That $500 turns to $50 when you include all the extras and stuff?

    • Piranha2004 on 06/02/2017 - 05:55

      So what? A saving is a saving. Might be the difference between going on a holiday and not

      • OzBragain on 06/02/2017 - 06:52

        So what? A saving is a saving.

        I think the point is that some posters word their title/description to get more votes rather than include useful information that allow people to accurately compare alternatives.

        Imagine how popular a budget carrier deal would be if "optional add ons" like…say…luggage was included in the price!

        • Piranha2004 on 06/02/2017 - 10:58

          I suppose. But the addons are subjective depending on the individual's needs.

        • OzBragain on 06/02/2017 - 15:13

          @Piranha2004:

          Of course, most things are subjective depending on the individual's needs.

          Most people I know would take more than a 7kg bag to a location like this and would also likely want to include items that are only allowed in checked baggage.

          The issue is intentionally leaving the cost of standard add ons out of a post to try and get more votes. Checked baggage is pretty standard for most travellers, list it in the description and don't look shifty. If a rep tried it, it wouldn't go down well.

        • callum9999 on 06/02/2017 - 15:17

          @OzBragain:

          Utter rubbish. The price advertised is the price you have to pay. If you refuse to pack light then that's on you.

        • OzBragain on 06/02/2017 - 15:28

          @callum9999:

          Utter rubbish. The price advertised is the price you have to pay.

          Clearly have strong opinions on this don't you champ :)

          Just because someone's opinion doesn't align with yours doesn't make it "utter rubbish" but I do appreciate your internet enthusiasm.

          If your statement was true then there would be no option for add ons offered by the airline…but that's never going to happen.

        If you're worried about $50 I guess you shouldn't be travelling at all?

        Is your discomfyworth $50?

        • Piranha2004 on 06/02/2017 - 17:17

          Again depends on the holiday. 50 might get you to an additional tourist attraction, food for a night or even a cheap hotel room (really cheap). It's all subjective.

  • Iwantthatbargain on 06/02/2017 - 09:36

    Air Asia prices have gone up 30%-40% last night and they are offering a 20% discount for any travel before 31st July, effectively price gone up by 10%

  • timove on 06/02/2017 - 12:16

    You could pair this flight with this deal from luxury escapes: https://luxuryescapes.com/finolhu-resort-maldives-1
    Make sure to read the fine print though as there are some blackout periods

  • lainey13 on 06/02/2017 - 12:21

    The Ozbargainer in me baulks at paying more than $800 per night for all inclusive or $600 seaplane transfers…

    • MrMaxwell on 06/02/2017 - 18:42

      The seaplane transfer is more than the flight from Australia?

      Air Asia flying to the Maldives is such a contradiction! They need to open one of their cheap Tune Resorts for OzBargainers :-)
