Question 2

When did momondo last update prices for flights to Cuba?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

How old do you have to be to fly to Cuba?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age for a child to fly alone is five, but airlines that offer an unaccompanied minor (UNMR) service may have their own age limitations. Flight duration, scheduling, and stopovers are among the considerations that may influence age limits. We recommend that you double-check with the airline you are booking with for travel to Cuba.

Question 4

What documentation or ID do you need to fly to Cuba?

Accepted Answer

The travel and health documents required for your trip to Cuba can vary based on your itinerary and personal situation. As a rule, consider having multiple documents such as a national ID card or driver’s licence, and a passport valid for six-months after you plan to arrive at Cuba. We always recommend checking with your airline or a trusted third party such as IATA to get advice.

Question 5

How long does it take to fly to the Maldives?

Accepted Answer

The duration of your flight to the Maldives will depend on a number of factors, including your city of departure in Australia, the airline you choose to fly with, the number of stops along the way, and the duration of those stops. Maldives flights departing from Sydney (SYD), for example, can be as short as around 15h 45min with Singapore Airlines to around 36h with Emirates. If you’ll be departing from Melbourne (MEL), you may find 13h 45min flights with SriLankan Airlines that include a brief stop in Colombo (CMB) along the way. Passengers departing from Brisbane (BNE) can also find single-stop flights with a total duration of around 15 to 16h. However, if you’re looking for cheap flights from Brisbane to the Maldives, many of the best deals will get you there in around 23 to 26h.

Question 6

Can you get direct flights to the Maldives from Australia?

Accepted Answer

There currently aren’t any airlines offering non-stop flights from Australian cities to the Maldives. However, you will find plenty of single-stop itineraries departing from capital cities like Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney and arriving at Malé (MLE), the capital of the Maldives. Singapore Airlines offers plenty of flights from major Australian cities that will get you to the Maldives in under 20h with a short stop in Changi Airport (SIN) along the way. SriLankan Airlines also offers quick flight times. However, with this airline, your brief stop will be in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo. While the overall transit times tend to be a little longer with airlines like Qantas and Emirates, many passengers enjoy stretching their legs between flights with these airlines as they both stop at the Dubai International Airport (DXB), which offers state-of-the-art facilities and world-class shopping and dining experiences.

Question 7

What is the best way to travel around the Maldives?

Accepted Answer

On arrival at the Velana International Airport, you will most likely be greeted by a representative from your resort and then escorted there via ferry, seaplanes, speedboat, or in some cases, a combination of these transportation methods. Once you’re at your resort, you’ll likely find that walking is the easiest and most convenient way to get around. If you wish to visit some of the other islands in the archipelago, air taxis and taxi boats are available. These are the ideal transport options for traveling from Malé, the capital of the Maldives, to other major cities like Fuvahmulah in the south and Hulhumale in the north. If you’re organising flights between the islands for yourself, seaplanes are provided by Maldivian, Manta Air, Flyme, and Trans Maldivian Airways. While the flights themselves are generally less than 1h 30min, there are often delays. For your best chance of avoiding this, try to book morning flights. If you wish to visit some of the remote and unpopulated islands that are usually out of reach for tourists, you may wish to charter a yacht. Companies offering yacht charters generally have the licenses needed to visit these beautiful, isolated spots, giving you an experience of the Maldives that’s truly unique.

Question 8

Does an Australian citizen need a passport or visa to fly to the Maldives?

Accepted Answer

Australian citizens must have a passport and visa to travel to the Maldives. Your passport should have at least one blank visa page and at least six months validity from your date of arrival in the Maldives. You must also have proof of onward travel, proof of your accommodation within the Maldives, and you may be asked to provide evidence that you have sufficient funds to cover your expenses during your stay. If you’ve passed through an area where Yellow Fever is a problem, you may also need to present proof of vaccination. If you plan to stay for less than 30 days, you may be eligible to obtain a tourist visa on arrival. However, visa rules are subject to change without notice, so it’s a good idea to contact the Maldives Tourist Office to ensure you follow the required steps to obtain a visa relevant to your travel purposes.
