      Useful information about the flight from Glasgow to Malta

      Mediterranean Island Enclave

      Malta is a small island nation lying in the Mediterranean sea, approximately 80 km south of Italy. With its capital at Valletta, the country boasts a rich history spanning thousands of years and is a popular destination for sun holidays and sightseeing alike. Malta uses both Maltese and English as its official languages, meaning a language barrier should not be an issue.


      When is it best to travel?

      Malta boasts an inviting atmosphere year-round. While winters tend to be wet and windy, summers are predictably hot and dry. Those primarily seeking a sun holiday tend to arrive in the peak season between April and October. Being a Christian and Catholic country, Malta celebrates the usual holidays of Christmas and Easter. An additional major festival is Mnarja, being held at the end of June. This festival is held to celebrate the harvest and is well worth looking in on for those travelling at this time of year. Furthermore, individual villages have different patron saints and celebrate them independently throughout the year.
