TBF, the Malta game was always going to be popular due to guaranteed sun and it being reasonably cheap and accessible. A lot of people - myself included - took the opportunity to have a week's late summer holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I must admit I only checked flights Fri-Mon but ended up not going. Most were £300-400 which isn't worth it for 2 full days, actually there arriving around 10pm Fri and having to leave 6.30 or 7.30am on Monday. If I could have made it a week long trip the flight prices and times are probably more reasonable . But for 2 days it was too much. I've never been but I thought Malta itself was meant to be relatively expensive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be thinking of Cyprus which was always expensive but for the Gibraltar away last year we just had a week's sun holiday which I assume most of your own fans did as well.

Your Gib game was in Malta ? 5 hours ago, noctonjock said: We got a weeks all inclusive for under £400 .decent hotel as well That's surprisingly good.Sounds like I was mistaken re general prices in Malta. I think if I'd gone for a week the flights would have been much better but Fri-Mon from Edin was too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Captain Pedantic, I'm saying Malta and Portugal are your usual week long sun package holiday destinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
