Written by Stephanie Mikkelsen
Paradise is waiting and one of the world’s best airlines is helping you answer the call.
Drop everything and pack your bags (SPF+ sunscreen included) because Singapore Airlines, one of the world’s most awarded airlines, has just dropped INCREDIBLE flights to the Maldives – starting from only $991* return!
Fares this low don’t come around often, so there’s no time to waste – snap up your seats before these flights sell out. Luxury Escapes’ Head of Flights Chris Malina says, “Travellers can save up to 30% off normal levels when booking an Singapore Airlines early bird fare!”. And as if you needed any more convincing to book these Singapore Airlines flights now, consider that some of the airline’s flight schedule is timed to coincide with domestic and seaplane transfers departing from Malé to the resorts. Plus, travelling on a full-service carrier to the Maldives means you won’t be sacrificing creature comforts – including meals and beverages, in-flight entertainment and more.
Read on to discover more reasons why these Singapore Airlines sale flights are the perfect way to reach the Maldives.
The travel period is January to September 2025
Unlike some flight sales that pair great-value rates with often restrictive travel periods, these Singapore Airlines fares are open for travel from 13 January until 10 September 2025*. This flexibility opens up a world of travel possibilities, from the ultimate Valentine’s Day escape in February to trips with the whole family during the school holidays.
Not sure when to visit the Maldives? Dates between January and April are the archipelago’s dry season. While these months overlap with the peak travel period, there are no monsoons or heavy rainfall to disrupt beach time – which means water visibility is excellent for keen divers, snorkellers and aquatic adventurers.
The Maldives’ rainy season runs from May to August. While you might encounter higher humidity and lower water visibility, this low season is also when some Maldives hotels and resorts drop their prices – meaning there could be even greater savings.
The flight schedule gives you choice for departures
Travellers departing Melbourne for the Maldives are in luck. “Singapore Airlines’ flights from Melbourne connect seamlessly Malé via Singapore,” explains Chris. “With first arrivals before noon, which offers great connectivity with seaplanes and boats transfers to surrounding island hotels by early afternoon and check-in.”
Those needing to stopover in Singapore’s Changi Airport couldn’t ask for a better transit destination, explains Chris. “It’s an amazing airport to transit through with lounges, a number of airport hotels to freshen up, shopping catering for everyone’s wants and needs, seamless easy connectivity between terminals.”
And for Chris, even having to stopover in Singapore is no reason not to book these great-value flights. “Another alternative way of getting to the Maldives is via the Middle East, through Dubai, Doha or Abu Dubai – however this not only increases travel duration, but also price.”
Singapore Airlines is one of the world’s most trusted (and awarded) airlines
This year alone, Singapore Airlines has swept up three wins in the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2024, taking out the prestigious categories of ‘Best Airline in Asia’, ‘World’s Best Cabin Staff’ and ‘World’s Best First Class Cabin’. In 2023, Singapore Airlines was awarded ‘World’s Best Airline’ in the Skytrax World Airline Awards – and has consistently won no less than three categories in the same awards program for the last decade.
Other accolades include being named ‘World’s Best International Airline 2024’ by Travel + Leisure, ‘World’s Best Airline’ from Business Traveler USA in 2023, and the ‘Best Airline in the World’, for the 34th time no less, in Condé Nast Traveler‘s (USA) Readers’ Choice Awards 2023.
Singapore Airlines is a certified 5-star airline by Skytrax, a rating system that considers onboard experience (including seats, food and beverage, in-flight entertainment, cleanliness etc), cabin crew service and on-ground airport quality.
When you travel with a full-service airline, everything is included
Forget loading your tablet with ready-downloaded movies and filling your carry-on with every kind of snack imaginable. Singapore Airlines is a full-service carrier, so all meals and drinks (plus in-flight entertainment) are included. Passengers in premium cabins can also take advantage of Singapore Airlines’ ‘Book the Cook’ service; selecting their meals ahead of departure from a menu often more comprehensive than the one available on the day of travel.
