For people wanting to get away from the United Kingdom for a while, Malta is a well-known and popular destination. Malta, as an archipelago, can best be reached from air. However some British citizens may be unsure as to how to book flights to Malta and where, once there, they will land. This guide will, hopefully, answer these questions to their satisfaction.

Malta International Airport

The Republic of Malta only has one Airport, Malta International Airport, which is only a few kilometers from the capital of Valletta. This airport, far from being a small unassuming one, is actually considered among the 15 best airports in the world by Passenger Terminal World magazine. The airport has plenty of amenities such as restaurants, shops and car rental agencies.

Shop Around

There are many different airline companies that fly from the United Kingdom to Malta. These airlines leave from many different cities but, thankfully, all go to the same place. Looking for deals online is a great way to discover the best ways to get to Malta. However, as that is rather time-consuming, this guide will examine some of the more well-known sites provide transportation to Malta from the United Kingdom (London, Manchester, Birmingham etc.).

  • Cheapflights

Found at the website Cheapflight.co.uk, this travel site has received overall positive reviews for cheap prices and good service. On their site people are quickly and easily able to find a ride to Malta. The site allows someone to see if flights are available on a certain day as well compare prices from different airlines. The only issue is that you are not able to buy directly from the site but must, instead, link to another site in order to purchase any tickets. Despite this downside, the website is a good place to compare prices and find a deal that works for you.

  • Eurodestination

Eurodestination.com is another site that compiles a list of airlines flying from the United Kingdom to Malta in a nice, neat little package. Much like Cheapflights, it allows customers to quickly and easily find flights at certain times of the year and compare prices with differing airlines. It, however, has the same weakness as Cheapflights in that a customer needs to click to a airline’s main site in order to purchase tickets.

Local Airport

If not all that tech-savvy, an excellent place for a potential tourist to find out about flights to Malta is from their local airport. These airports have staff on standby who can help anyone to find out about flights to Malta. Best of all, if wanting to during a peak season, a tourist can book their flights right over the phone ensuring that their tickets are held for them. That security, unfortunately, is found less often over the Internet.

Travel Agents

Travel Agents, though not cheap, can really smooth the way for someone wishing to visit Malta from the United Kingdom. They can find flights that suit a person best, advise deals and purchase tickets without the customer ever having to lift a finger. If in the budget, agents are an excellent way to find the best deals for memorable vacation.

Conclusion

The Republic of Malta is in the middle of the beautiful Mediterranean. This, however, means that driving is not an option. Therefore the choice of an airline is a very important one. Whether flying coach or first class, it’s important for a traveler to know that their flight will be cheap, comfortable and timely. A vacationer just need to remember, as Malta is a popular travel destination, to book their flights early so that their not left behind.
