Well i just got back from MLA,after 10 hot days in the sun,hehe!!!Just thought i would let you know what KM is like.
LGW-MLA:
For the first time in months the aircraft arrived late,but only 20 minutes.The aircraft was 9H-ADM,a 737-300.Captain was very good,he cracked a few jokes before take off which i thought was good,if only the stewards were like that,not 1 of them had a smile and they were chewing gum.We got a free Maltese newspaper on the flight.Food was alright,turkey or pork,chicken or salmon.Free drinks which was good and best of all i purchased an A320 model.On arrival at Luqa we had to wait 30 minutes for our luggage and no air conditioning.
Our hotel was situated just outside of Valleta which had great views of the MLA flight path,i sawe a LH A310.
MLA-LGW:
We had an hour wait at the check in and our flights were written up on pieces of card also i had to be up at 3 am.The aircraft was a 737-500 leased from Mearsk.The aircraft was 10 minutes early leaving but because of head winds,we still arrived at our estimated time of 10:30.Horrible breakfast,frankfurter,egg and hash browns with a role and orange juice and a sickly cake.Around Paris i was able to go up to the cockpit,i was very pleased with this and enjoyed chatting to the captain.We arrived at 10:30 and until 1:30 i was at the sky viewing gallery,stupid me though,forgot my binoculours!!!
Thanks for all your info about MLA,i had a great time,thanks
Regards Saab 2000

RE: My trip on Air Malta
Thak you for your response – but I must agree that the stewards on Air Malta are really hopeless, they just dont know how to smile.
