Cents per mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.

A medium-haul KrisFlyer redemption to Velana International Airport in Malé (MLE), the arrival point for resorts across the Maldives. The Singapore Airlines nonstop takes about four and a half hours and lands in time for daylight seaplane transfers.
Tracked economy cash fares to the Maldives often top S$1,000 return, high for a flight of under five hours, so even economy awards return solid value per mile. On those tracked fares, economy edges out business on cents per mile here, which is unusual on the chart.

Small things travellers like to know about Maldives.

- Seaplanes fly only in daylight, so a late arrival can mean a night in Malé or Hulhumalé before the resort transfer; confirm timings with the resort before booking flights.
- Importing alcohol is prohibited and bags are screened on arrival; resort islands serve alcohol, while local-island guesthouses do not.
- Resort transfers by seaplane or domestic flight can cost as much as the air ticket; check the transfer price when comparing resorts.
