5/10/2022 0 Comments Flying to The Maldives AloneMy first time flying alone... My TripHaving made this trip before definitely made the whole flying alone thing MUCH easier. If possible, I would recommend flying a routine you have done before already. This trip I flew on Qatar air to Dallas (where I got the most lost), went onto Doha, then finally landed in Male, Maldives. It is rather difficult to write about so I made a YouTube video showing the trip. Advice I have for youHere's some top tier advice I have after doing this: 1. bring everything in your carry on Your checked bags will usually be checked all the way to your final destination. It's a good idea to go ahead and pack everything for your flight in your carry on bag, including some stuff to take a shower if you desire- at least a toothbrush! 2. don't be afraid to ask for help Anyone who works in the airport can help give you directions. This is really helpful when coming off of connecting flights and moving to a different gate, maybe even different terminal in an unfamiliar airport. As a young female, it's important to pay attention to who I'm asking. Looking for people who have name tags or are dressed in pants with collared shirts is a good way to find quality help. 3. signs are here to help you Keep looking up! Flight boards are also a HUGE help and you should check here first for a gate. 4. don't look so lost Or at least try not to... but moving with haste in any direction helps avoid the "dazed and confused" look. 5. Plan out a shower or find a lounge the Qatar airport has numerous lounges that are very affordable. I looked a flight that purposely had a layover long enough to enter a lounge where I can eat and shower. The lounge I went to cost $66 USD and included food and shower for 6 hours.
