Cheap flights from London to the Maldives from £170

On all the flight routes to the Maldives from London, you either depart from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) or London City Airport (LCY). London City is closest to the city centre, just under 9 miles away. Due to traffic, this can take up to 30min by car. The quickest public transport options are to take the Docklands Light Railway from Canning Town Station (roughly a 10min trip) or to catch the Tube from Bank DLR Station straight to London City Airport DLR Station. The journey will take about 20min. Heathrow is about 16 miles to the west of Central London, and the easiest way to get there is to catch the Heathrow Express trains that depart from Paddington Station. In the Maldives, you’ll land at Malé Velana International Airport (MLE), the international airport serving this resort archipelago. It’s on its own little island connected to the main island of Malé, about 5 miles away. Alternatively, you can take a ferry from the airport and a Line 401 bus to get to the centre of Malé town.
