When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in February around $556 and peak in July near $801, 44% dearer, across the 9 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 8.5 hours outbound, on a 20-night trip — ticketed under AirAsia, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $556 for 4,759 km each way, that works out to about $58 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $43 per 1,000 km typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Maldives, this fare ranks 5th — 19% above the $467 from Jakarta. The best time to be in Maldives: Nov–Apr.
Cheapest day in the next 4 months: 21 Nov, $576

Good to know
CAN → MLE, answered.
Is $556 a good price for Guangzhou to Maldives?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $590 round-trip and this fare is 6% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Guangzhou to Maldives?
Across 9 months of cached-fare history, Feb comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Maldives are Nov–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book CAN → Maldives?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 9 months of cached fares, Feb comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Guangzhou to Maldives?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under AirAsia. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
