The Malta International Airport is
situated in the south part of the island
of Malta close to the villages of Luqa,
Gudja, Safi and Imqabba amongst
others.
Let's check out some facts about this
Airport.

There are lots of places where you can
have a quick bite or lunch or dinner as
well as establishments such as Costa
Coffee and Fat Harries where you can have a
drink while chatting with your friends.
The food court is a great place to hang
out before your flight if you are not
using La Vallette lounge. Or else the
Skyparks building which is a which is a 5 minute walk
away from the terminal.

The viewing gallery was recently
re-opened with an outdoor area. It's
an amazing place to hang out and watch
aircrafts depart and taxiing into the
apron. It is located on level three and
you can easily use one of the lifts to
get up there.
[Music]
It has quite a modern touch to it and
you will definitely enjoy the views from
up there.
[Music]
The only downside is watching aircrafts
from behind the glass which might
impair your view, especially if you are
taking photographs, but it's
understandable due to safety reasons.

Although service is usually quite
efficient, the departures terminal is
not a large terminal, so it does get
quite busy, especially during
peak hours. Showing up two hours before
the flight is always recommended. Plans
are currently underway to renovate the
whole terminal building including the
outdoors. There is a section at the end
of the video dedicated to this
renovation, so it's not a bad idea to
stick to the end of this video. You can
also find a Costa Coffee shop in the
departures terminal so you can grab a
quick drink before checking in for your
flight.

Free WiFi is available throughout the
terminal building. It took quite a while
to connect and we didn't speed up the
video on purpose
[Music]
It took 25 seconds to have Wi-Fi
available. We also ran a speed test and
the speed was quite good – 35 mpbs
for the download and almost 4 Mbps
for the upload.

The arrivals terminal is very similar to
the departures one. you can get a cab
just infront of the terminal or walk a few
seconds to the bus stations. You can
reach the bus stop by turning to the
right as soon as you exit the terminal
building.
[Music]
There are more than a thousand five
hundred parking spots just outside the
terminal. Parking rates are quite
reasonable. Reaching or departing from
the airport by bus is very
straightforward thanks to the four express
lines X1, 2, 3 & 4.
Bus tickets are available for purchase
at the below points and outlets.
Additionally tickets may be bought on all
buses.

The Malta International Airport is set
to undertake a terminal expansion
project which will double the building's
current footprint. This project will
mainly focus on improving the experience
of passenger journeys through the
airport, most notably within the check-in
hall, the security screening area and the
departure gates. Let me leave you with a
rendered video published on the
airport's YouTube channel in January
2020.
