Maldives is one of those dream holiday and honeymoon destinations for many. It is somewhat difficult to get into, however, using miles & points. It will become bit easier later this year when Turkish Airlines, Istanbul based Star Alliance carrier, starts Istanbul – Male service five times a week beginning on November according to a post by AirlineRoute.net.
Currently Male is served by two Star Alliance carriers Singapore Airlines and Austrian. Swiss’s Edelweiss subsidiary also flies there from Zurich.
I have been to Maldives twice and have flown Singapore Airlines there both times. If you haven’t been to Male, the capital of the Maldives, the city is worth exploring for a day as I recently did. You can read about my experience at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa. It is a fantastic property

Great news as United drops Qatar’s availability in Sept. Thanks!
It most certainly is. Singapore Airlines just dropped some frequencies to Male so it is good to have another Star Alliance carrier flying there.
