Prayagraj to Male Flights

The Prayagraj to Male air route connects Bamrauli (IXD) to Male Int'l (MLE). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Prayagraj and Male. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Prayagraj to the Maldives for leisure and honeymoon trips, seeking a relaxing escape to the island nation's beaches. The Maldives offers a tranquil atmosphere with beautiful resorts and water activities.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit the Maldives is generally from November to April. During these months, the weather is drier and sunnier, ideal for enjoying the beaches and water sports.

Getting from the airport to Male

Velana International Airport (MLE) is located on Hulhule Island, near Male. You can take a speedboat or ferry to Male, which costs around 1-2 USD. Many resorts offer speedboat transfers directly to their island, pre-booked at higher rates.

Things to do in Male

Visit Male: Explore the capital city, including the Grand Friday Mosque and local markets. Island hopping: Take a boat trip to experience different islands and their unique cultures. Snorkelling or diving: Discover the vibrant coral reefs and marine life. Relax on the beaches: Unwind on the white sand beaches and soak up the sun.

Food to try

Local tips

Dress modestly when visiting local islands, as the Maldives is a Muslim country. Bargaining is not common in the Maldives, especially in resorts and established shops.
