Short-haul, sun-soaked, and chronically underrated by travellers who have not yet been. Budget carriers dominate the routes, which keeps fares honest most of the year. Summer fills up fast and fares reflect it. The sweet spot is May, early June, or September: warm water, thin crowds, and prices that leave room for a decent rabbit stew and a glass of local wine.

What works well

  • Budget carrier coverage
  • Incredible history
  • Year-round sun

What to watch

  • Book early Jul-Aug
  • Summer crowds spike
One runway, one terminal, and somehow still room for a temple complex older than Stonehenge. January fares dip to $55, which tells you everything about how the crowds behave the rest of the year. Rome is 1h 30m away for $65, London 3h 05m for $85, so the maths favours the impulsive as much as the planned. Just don't be the non-Schengen passport holder stuck in a 30-40 minute August queue wondering why you didn't book those instalments back in spring.

When to Book Flights to Malta

May, June, and September are the sweet spot for Malta flights: warm enough to swim, cool enough to sightsee, and fares that have not yet hit peak-summer territory. July and August are the most expensive months by a significant margin, driven by European school holidays and the island's limited accommodation supply.

Arrival guide

Malta Airport — What You Need to Know

Malta International Airport, IATA MLA · 8 km from Valletta · 4 km from Paola.

Malta International Airport is the island's sole commercial airport, operating from a single modern terminal that handles both Schengen and non-Schengen arrivals. The main carriers using MLA include Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air Malta, Air Malta, British Airways, and Lufthansa. Arrivals move quickly in the off-season; in July and August, non-Schengen passport queues at passport control can stretch to 30-40 minutes, so factor that in when booking onward transfers.

Malta – airport guide
TransportCost (approx)Duration
Public bus (X1/X4 express)EUR 1.50-2.0030-40 min to Valletta
Metered taxi (official white cabs)EUR 15-20 to Valletta15-20 min depending on traffic
Bolt / eCabs ride-hailingEUR 10-15 to Valletta15-25 min, bookable via app

Check-in tips

  • Online check-in opens 30 days before departure on most carriers serving MLA.
  • Ryanair and Wizz Air charge at the gate for oversized cabin bags; measure before you go.
  • Non-Schengen passport holders should allow 45 minutes for immigration in peak summer.

Splitting the extras

  1. At Laters.com checkout you can split seat upgrades, lounge access, and extra baggage allowances across three or four payments with Klarna or Clearpay -- so the extras do not all land on the same bill as your fare.

Can I book Malta flights with BNPL on Laters.com?

Yes. Laters.com supports Klarna, Clearpay, Scalapay, Zilch, and other BNPL providers at checkout for Malta flights. You pay the first instalment at booking and your e-ticket arrives immediately. The remaining payments are collected automatically over the following weeks or months.

Does using BNPL for flights affect my credit score?

Most BNPL providers on Laters.com, including Klarna and Zilch, run a soft credit check at sign-up which does not affect your credit score. However, missed payments may be reported to credit agencies depending on the provider. Always check the terms of your chosen BNPL plan before booking.

Do I need a visa to visit Malta?

Malta is a member of the Schengen Area, so EU and EEA citizens can enter without a visa. Many other nationalities receive visa-free access for short stays of up to 90 days, while others require a Schengen visa in advance. Requirements vary by nationality, so check the official Maltese government website or your country's foreign ministry before booking.

How do I get from Malta Airport to Valletta?

The X1 and X4 express buses run from MLA to Valletta Bus Terminus for around EUR 1.50-2.00 and take 30-40 minutes.

What is the best time of year to visit Malta?

May, June, and September offer the best balance of warm weather, swimmable sea temperatures, and manageable crowds. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, with temperatures regularly exceeding 33C and prices at their peak.

Laters.com charges no booking fees on top of the fare. The price you see at checkout is what you pay, split across your chosen instalment plan. Note that individual airlines may charge separately for checked baggage, seat selection, or priority boarding -- these are airline fees, not Laters.com fees, and can also be added and split at checkout.
