Easter flights to the Maldives skyrocket by over £1,000 as Middle East airports, including key hubs in Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi, shut down amid escalating conflicts. Major Gulf carriers like Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad reroute via Asia and North America, hiking fuel costs and extending travel times that slash the dreamy escape's affordability. UK travelers face the brunt, with routes from London to Velana International now pricier amid global disruptions linking Asia to Europe.
