We tried booking the UK offer one week after it was issued, and they said they had stopped the offer - questioning the reason, we were told the offer was only on very few seats on very few dates as well. OK. Now we tried booking the 79EUR offer to ANY destination in the offer, the NEXT day it was issue...and they told us they had sold them all already! to ALL the destinations in the offer!! Allajbierek. Now they issue a press release about the offer...u halluna trid.

I say Nathalie * didn't you know that in Malta its not what you know but whom you know, and my guess is that the first offers will always go to the staff then the clients, this happens so many times with Airmalta that people now are wisening up and just treat their special???? offers with a piunch of salt at least in our case as we had the same problem on 2 occasions andf its just not worth the paper its printed on End of Story. I also sympatize with J.Hartmann as AirMalta is one of the dearest airlines flying to that region i know i live in the Netherlands, now i rather travel to the UK for peanuts then book on EasyJet, i would rather prefer to put the money i save in my pocket as oppse in Airmalta. Until...... THEY COME DOWN TO EARTH!.

Just one question AirMalta : WHY IS IT THAT SCHIPHOL-AMSTERDAM is always left out the list, is there a problem between Luqa and Schiphol by anychance.. please reply just for the our records and future reference and bookings with your carrier, it seems that we the Dutch don't seem to be count or are lucky enough as the cheapest i have found so far is not less then 250€ and thats a damn sight alot more then what RyanAir or EasyJet are asking from the UK, however had there been a flight with these airlines from Luqa to Amsterdam, they will be my first port of call and NOT Airmalta thankyou verymuch.....Not Amused my Maltese friends.

Why is the UK not included? this is suppose to be the maltese people national airline.i tell you why, there is a lot of maltese that visit their loved ones in the UK and airmalta knows that they can fill them seats even at a high price even now that we have low cost airlines, personally i think there is not enough low cost flights going out to fulfill the need of the maltese people.

The UK, including Gatwick, was included in an earlier promotion which ran till April. I booked return tickets for 2 adults and a child for a total of €180 return in mid-December. That's less than what you pay with Ryanair (when you add credit card charges and all) to fly to Luton.
Pity you missed out.

I note no chance of any benefits for England! I am having a difficult time booking flights only on line with a number of com panies [e.g. Malta Direct, Thomas Cook,Belleair] mind you I can book a flight and hotel! Seems to me something is very wrong I still spend my hard earned money wether I use a hotel or not.
