Your journey begins at Velana International Airport (MLE), the gateway to the Maldives and a remarkably beautiful departure point surrounded by brilliant blue water. Enjoy a comfortable travel experience at this easy-to-navigate international hub.

Getting to the airport involves travelling on water since it's located on its own island, without land connections to Malé city. Speedboats are the most common mode of transport, alongside local water taxis known as dhonis, which bring you directly to the terminal. You can also take a transfer by seaplane.

Once inside the terminal, you'll find several facilities to explore before your flight. You can relax in the lounge area or browse retail outlets for any last-minute purchases. Shop local goods, luxury accessories, perfume and jewellery. Stay connected using the complimentary internet kiosks situated in the duty-free area, near gates 1, 2 and 3. You can easily find the prayer room inside the terminal, or access one of the two mosques just five minutes’ walk from the airport.

Amsterdam is a captivating European capital known for its stunning canals and vibrant culture. After your seamless check-in and departure at your origin airport, look forward to an enjoyable flight with excellent service. You can immediately feel the city’s unique charm as you walk along the picturesque, UNESCO-listed canals, which are a masterpiece of urban planning and best seen on a tranquil boat tour. Art and history are at the heart of the city; immerse yourself in the masterpieces at the world-renowned Rijksmuseum or discover the world's largest collection of the Dutch master at the Van Gogh Museum, both located on Museumplein. Wander through the charming, narrow streets of the Jordaan neighbourhood, known for its traditional canal houses and quiet atmosphere, which offers a glimpse into the past. Don't miss Dam Square, a lively historical gathering place in the heart of the Old Centre. A trip to Amsterdam provides a perfect blend of history and modern energy, offering a memorable cultural experience where you can even visit the contemporary EYE Film Institute for a riverside view.
