Flying Business Class to the Maldives from the USA | Luxury Flights & Deals | PrivyTrips

Nov 28, 2025

The Maldives is one of the world’s most iconic luxury destinations — a place where crystal-clear lagoons, private villas, and tranquil white-sand beaches redefine the meaning of relaxation. And for travelers departing from the USA, the journey to this paradise becomes even more unforgettable when flying Business Class.

With long travel times, multiple routing options, and a range of premium airlines offering exceptional comfort, Business Class is the ideal way to begin your Maldivian escape. At PrivyTrips, we help travelers secure premium fares at savings of up to 60%, making a long-haul luxury experience both accessible and extraordinary.

Why Fly Business Class to the Maldives?



1. The Journey Is Long — Comfort Matters

Flying Business Class allows you to enjoy:

  • Lounge access at every connection
  • Premium dining
  • Priority check-in and security

Starting your vacation rested means you arrive ready to enjoy the Maldives from the first moment.

  • Singapore (Singapore Airlines)
  • London (British Airways + partner legs)

These hubs offer award-winning lounges — some of the best in the world — making long journeys smoother and more enjoyable.
