Have any of you TVers ever booked a trip to the Maldives from CM? I know you can't fly direct, I'm just looking for any experiences/recommendations of companies/airlines I could use.

Thanks in advance!

BKK Air to Swampy then on to Maldives

Can't answer your question but there must be a number of options as there is currently a big promotional push for Thais to travel there on holiday. I think Kasikorn Bank just had a promotion for a package holiday in the Maldives.

Just looked on Lonely Planet

SriLankan Airline from Bangkok

Sri Lankan Airlines - change at Colombo - then to the Maldives.

Many thanks to everyone above for your suggestions :-)

Just checked cost return 17,500

Is it an expensive place to visit?

according to Agoda... simple decent hotels from around 55 USD/night all the way up to 1000 USD/night... take your pick
