Male Airport

It's a simple small two-storey facility. Immigration and baggage were swift. Welcome to atoll nation. Outside the arrival there is boat jetty from hotels to take us to the resort. Once you step out of the arrival door on the right side there are booths from the hotels. Just look for your hotel booth if you have booked one; and the hotel representative will take you to the jetty. There is a small shop a cafe and internet place - all in one sight. You can buy prepaid mobile phone card at the internet shop. Departure is on right side of the building (from the boat jetty). After departure check-in passengers are to go to the second floor where you can find a restaurant and several duty free shops. But departure lounge is on the ground floor. When it's time for departure passengers go back to ground level enter the tarmac and walk to the plane. The terminal could use some renovation and better seats at the lounge to provide comfort for passengers are already tired because it's a long boat ride from resort to the airport.
