Questions & Answers
Below, you will find a list of the frequently asked questions.
Transfer to Thinadhoo
The Male international airport is the point of entry in Maldives, and there are daily connections, in some cases frequently, such as Dubai, Doha, Istanbul, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, and some European countries, besides charter flights.
Arrival flights details and guests´names are necessary during booking or at least 3 days before arrival, and Ecoboo will organize local logistics.
An Ecoboo representative will greet guests at the airport and will escort them to the speedboat or seaplane.
In case the guests decide for the seaplane, the baggage limit is 20 kg and 5 kg for hand luggage. All excess baggage must be paid directly to Maldivian Aero. Individual baggage exceeding 20 kg will not be accepted.
Please avoid having your luggage wrapped in plastic at your departure airport. Single-use plastics such as luggage wrap have a very negative effect on the natural environment.
