The tiny island state of Malta is one of those European countries that our tourists have not yet had time to explore well. This tourist destination is now not as in demand as its European neighbors. Nevertheless, experts find this place amazing, so they can happily tell you why they love the Maltese archipelago so much.

Malta is a small but very beautiful state with an amazing culture

Of course, the main advantage of Malta is its blue lagoons, warm Mediterranean waters and sunny beaches. The mild climate attracts a huge number of travelers. But not only beach lovers come here. Malta boasts countless historical and cultural monuments. People also come here to study specialized English schools, in which moderate cost of services is combined with a wide selection of quality educational programs. Yachtsmen, scuba divers and rock climbers can also find something to their liking here. Of course, the number of Russians wanting to visit this amazing island is growing every year. For this reason, our compatriots are interested in how long it is to fly to Malta from Moscow on a direct flight, since this is the most convenient and fastest way to visit the state.

As mentioned above, this direction is not particularly popular, therefore most of the flights on this route are carried out from Moscow. You can get to Malta without any delays with Air Malta. In this case, the flight will take only 4 hours 10 minutes.

Flight route from Moscow to Malta

It is worth noting that the return journey from Malta to Russia will take a little less time.

Regular flights on this route operate only on Tuesdays and Saturdays. However, the summer season can offer three additional flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays.

Flight with transfers

Not all travelers are able to accommodate the schedule of direct flights. In this case, connecting flights come to the aid of tourists. In addition, it’s no secret that traveling with transfers allows you to save a lot of money.

An important advantage of connecting flights is not only their favorable cost. The opportunity to see another country during a long layover is highly valued, in which, in fact, all the technical nuances will be settled.

Of course, most tourists are interested in the flight time from Moscow to Malta, taking into account one or more transfers. Before the flight, you should definitely check the duration of the connection in order to properly plan your free time.

Traveling to Malta is a great way to escape the Russian winter

Those who just want to save money and do not want to waste their time visiting any sights in other cities should expect that the total flight time will be 6 hours 20 minutes. In this case, the transplant will cost no more than an hour. This time is only enough to go through all the necessary authorities: registration, inspection, etc.

The longest flight time Moscow – Malta includes three long transfers and is 50 hours 20 minutes.

In which cities are connections made?

The most popular cities for transfers are:

• Istanbul;
• London.

At the same time, depending on the chosen flight, the journey through Istanbul may take from 5 to 21 hours. A connection in Rome is unlikely to allow you to enjoy the city, as it only takes an hour. But the transfer in London may last from 4 to 19 hours. There are other options for connecting routes with varying durations, so be careful before traveling study your air ticket. This way you can understand not only how long it takes to fly to Malta from Moscow, but also how to make good use of your time at the transfer points.

Malta airport

All international aircraft land at the state's only airport, located five kilometers from the capital, Valletta. The air hub is called "Luke". It has a very modest size, but at the same time boasts a first-class level of service and modern infrastructure. Arriving tourists can find here everything they need, from ATMs to a telecommunications center and a post office.

Luqa Airport has well-established transport links with all settlements of the island, so travelers do not have any problems getting to their resort.

There is only one international airport in Malta and you will definitely arrive there.

It's easy to navigate the area. Luqa Airport is small and intuitive. Visually it may seem that it is located a little out of the way, but, in fact, Malta is not such a big island, everything is relatively nearby.

Luqa Airport is clearly visible on Google Maps. The capital of the state, Valletta, is only 20 minutes by car and about 30-40 by bus.

The main airport building. As you can see, there is no pile of glass and concrete, everything is miniature and with a slight touch of provincialism.

Transfer options

1. Taxi

Convenient, but usually the most expensive option. You will be met at the airport with a sign and taken to the hotel door. When choosing a transfer in Malta, pay attention to the following details:

• Arrival time. If the plane arrives on the island at night, it is better to order a taxi and calmly get to the hotel;
• number of passengers. A taxi suddenly becomes profitable if the number of arrivals is 3-4 people. Check the latest prices in the special form below;
• season. I noticed that in summer the transfer is cheaper, and there are also shuttles for a reasonable 500 rubles. Read about them below.

The well-known Kiwi taxi booking service shows prices for transfers starting from 1,600 rubles per car. Please note that the cost depends on the euro exchange rate, so be sure to check the current prices.

Taxi order form:

Another taxi option is available on the international service Getyourguide. The cost is 1200 rubles, but per person. If you are traveling alone, then it is profitable, but if you are traveling with a group, then it is better to book a Kiwi taxi. I was also not impressed by the user reviews about this transfer.

2. Shuttle

I will dwell in a little more detail on such a transfer as a shuttle. We can say that this is something between a taxi and a regular bus, both in price and in convenience. I recently found an excellent transfer service that operates in many countries and their prices are much lower -. For example, a trip to the capital of the country, Valletta, will cost about 450 rubles (depending on the euro exchange rate).

I give the approximate cost of a transfer per person (+ 1 piece of luggage) to different areas of Malta. Check the relevance of prices using the links, as well as do not forget to indicate the current date in additional options, number of passengers and pieces of luggage.

That's all. Now all you have to do is wait for your bus.

How to choose a bus route?

Depending on your location in Malta, you will need to select the correct bus number. This is where the Bus Map comes in handy. The bus number is displayed on the display above the windshield of the vehicle.

There are routes from the airport: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X7, 201. The abbreviation X means “express”. The bus schedule and route can be viewed on special signs near the stop.

I will briefly describe the bus route:

X1 - Cirkewwa (port, departure to the island of Gozo), Mellixa, Pembroc.

X2 – Slima, Valletta

X3 - Buggiba, Rabat

X4 - Birzebbuga, Valletta

X7 – Birgu, Bormla, Valletta

201 - Blue Grotto, Siggiewi, Rabat

If you have booked accommodation in a very specific place on the island and doubt that there is a direct bus from the airport, then it is better to get to the capital Valletta and change to the desired bus there. In general, I noticed that from Valletta you can get to almost anywhere on the island.

Don't forget that traffic is on the left and you need to go to the opposite stop (not like in Russia). There is a separate article about all the intricacies of bus service in Malta, the link is attached above.
