If your selected resort is accessible by Maldives seaplane transfer, please review the following important information before booking your holiday with Alim Travels.

• Seaplanes are amphibious aircraft that take off from and land on water, offering spectacular aerial views of the Maldives’ islands and lagoons.
  
  
• Scheduled seaplane services operate only during daylight hours, typically between 6:00 AM and 3:30 PM, in accordance with Maldives Civil Aviation regulations.
  
  
• Passengers arriving on international flights after approximately 3:00 PM may be required to stay overnight in Malé, Hulhumalé, or an airport hotel before taking the next available seaplane the following day.
  
  
• Standard seaplanes do not have onboard toilets, so passengers should use the facilities available at the seaplane terminal before departure.
  
  
• Business Class seating is not available on scheduled seaplane services. However, private luxury seaplane charters can be arranged upon request.
  
  
• Seaplane transfers are not included free of charge unless specifically stated in your package. If a resort advertises a “Free Seaplane Transfer,” the transfer cost is generally incorporated into the overall package or room rate.
  
  
• Standard baggage allowance is 25 kg per passenger (combined checked and hand baggage). Excess baggage may be accepted subject to space availability and additional charges imposed by the airline.

• Check-in usually closes around one hour before departure, although timings may vary depending on airline operations and connecting international flights.
  
  
• Scheduled seaplanes have approximately 15 passenger seats, with limited window seats available.
  
  
• Air conditioning is not available onboard. The aircraft are fitted with ventilation fans, and the cabin may feel warm before takeoff.
  
  
• Some resorts provide exclusive airport lounges for their guests, while others use the public waiting area at the seaplane terminal.
  
  
• The seaplane terminal offers passenger facilities including seating areas, restrooms, a café, a convenience shop, and a designated smoking area.
