Beware Air Malta's advertising : 2 tickets Malta - Heathrow return March 22- April 5 booked October- €490
Same flights & times now € 456 - can someone say how €34 less is a 25% saving? Not even 25% on the basic price before taxes.
As usual misrepresentation of the fact.

Mr Chris Harris
I think the 25% discount is not meant for you, as you said that this is not worth the bother. This is meant for people who are not well of and every penny counts. You can go first class suppose in the enclosed space for selected people.

25% discount are still putting Air Malta`s prices as the highest among competitors. Saunders is still dry of ideas and far from reality.

I have only found 3 destinations at a bit over than 200Euros, for 2 adult in March 2013!. The others are all over 400 Euros. What kind of discount is this?
Then booked with Ryan Air for 130Euros for the same period.

I received an email in this regard. Prices for this gimmick seat sale are supposed to start at EUR39 per way. It's not that I'm trying to be awkward or enjoy moaning about each and every bit of news, but can anyone enlighten me which routes and which dates are available at the advertised discounted rates?

Has anyone actually tried getting on to Air malta.com - the book tickets portal hasn't worked all afternoon and still isn't.

Just as a matter of interest, why so late with the advert. (2) why is it its always early in the morning when everything is shut specially for people like ourselves that live in Gozo and have no way of getting back that time in the morning but to wait for the boat (winter schedule) and for 25% hardly worth the bother. Sorry Mr.Davies try again.

What I want to know is why it costs almost Euro 10 more to book a round trip from the UK than from Malta

different taxes and fees. It's the same if you fly from any airport, the opposite trip will be a different price. For example London - Frankfurt - London on Lufthansa is a different price compared to Frankfurt - London - Frankfurt on the same date and similar times.

I should have made it clearer, I meant the differance in administration costs.
10 Euro per person each way (Euro 40) for booking in Malta
10 GBP per person each way (£40) for booking in UK

Why people come on here to moan I never understand. You have a choice to fly with other airlines, so do that. Whenever I fly with AM, the prices are great especially if you are flexible on date/time, the same with any other airline. All the flights I take are full or nearly full, so AM are doing very well at the moment. Expect them to make a decent profit next year.

My other half always seems to fall in the same trap. She sees some advert in the papers or on TV, offering 30-50% discount or more and she is immediately very interested.
As always I say, hold your horses dear. What counts is not the size of the discount but the final cost price, and for sure when checking you find out that those offering such big discounts have starting prices sky high.

Funny, I managed to fly last month for €160 incl taxes return to London. Business class is always around €700 no matter when you book, so sorry to say that I don't think your story is very accurate to say the least.

Just read you paid this for 2 tickets. However, again, I managed to fly for half that price, so if you're not prepared to be flexible on dates, you pay more, the same with any airline. You obviously couldn't find a lower priced alternative even with Easyjet otherwise you surely would have booked with them? Low cost airlines are only so if you book months in advance as this example shows.

'People' are sometimes only interested in what they see up to the end of their noses. That's why they are not in boardrooms.
