ryanair cheap flights to Malta

Purchase your flight ticket at the best price.

Whether you are travelling to Malta to study or holiday, it’s always a good idea to shop around before buying your flight ticket.

As a rule of thumb,  if you start searching for your flight around 2 to 3 months ahead especially for the peak season, you stand a better chance of finding a good deal.  Make sure you book your flight at least 28 days  in advance to avail yourself of the discounts offered to students.

Low cost airlines such as Ryanair offer special discounted prices and make some allowance for extra luggage.

Sign up with airlines to receive their newsletters and special offers as they sometimes run for a limited time.

If you book your tickets to fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday you may have better prices as these days seem to be the least busy days for travelling.

When checking prices clear your cookies on your computer as sometimes the prices increase  when the booking system perceives that you have visited the page several times.

You could also browse in incognito to make sure you get the best deals.

Malta’s own national airline called KM Malta Airlines also has some good discounts from time to time.

Malta’s only airport is called Malta International Airport and is located in Luqa.

 

Special deals for Erasmus students on Ryanair flights

Students who come to Malta to study should be aware of the special deals available to them.

As Malta is an English speaking country many students opt to study in Malta either on an Erasmus exchange for one semester or an academic year and some also opt to study at the University of Malta as a full time student.  English is the language of instruction at the University of Malta.

It is also a popular destination with students on a Medical elective with students from as far away as Australia and New Zealand completing their electives in Malta.

Ryanair has partnered with the Erasmus student Network and offers card holders free check-in of a 20Kg luggage as well as a discount of 10% on up to 4 one way tickets or 2 return tickets in an academic year.

Students need to be in possession of an Erasmus student Network card to be able to take advantage of these offers. Students on a mobility programme or past international interns are eligible to apply for an Erasmus student card.

You will need to apply for this card in your home country and is valid for 12 months.

With this card you will be able to benefit from thousands of discounts  on food, accommodation, flights, car hire, gym memberships, language courses and many other services all over Europe.

For those planning to stay in Malta for a long stay it’s worth applying for a tal-linja card to be able to use the public transport for free.
