Updated 12 May

Reports have come in from readers this morning that the €35 tickets are also available for sale at the Malta International Airport Air Malta sales booth.

Unfortunately neither Air Malta nor else have issued press releases to clarify instructions although we do have updates in the comments section below.

If the tickets are available from MIA and you are living abroad then remember: these days you do not need the actual physical ticket with you when you check in so somebody in Malta can buy the ticket for you. Please ask them to confirm that this is correct when they do.

Good luck!

 

 

Call Air Malta on +356 2364 5321 to buy your tickets.

The tickets cost €35

That's it.
