Monarch Maldives
Hey,
Im cabin crew at the mo with Monarch and I did the Male flight a month ago. We have 2 flights a week out to Male, both leaving on Sunday evening and returning Monday night. The A330 does a direct flight leaving at 2100 local and there is also a flight on the A300, leaving LGW at 2200 I think, which goes via Bahrain.
Premium cabin is well worth the upgrade, especially as the flight is so long. The legroom is noticably more than down the back, as is the seat width.
There is no louge available at LGW, but as mentioned before, there is priority boarding.
Hope this is of some help
