    • @marvicgrech3840
      @marvicgrech3840 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@MyTrips_Aviation yea it actually is a SmartLynx! But it is doing the flight in the name of air malta (wet lease). So basically it contains SmartLynx crew and service but has air malta passeners on board! Air Malta have been doing that lately due to bad management as it implemented new routes without the addition of planes to back them up, so ended up having a lack of planes to fly the flights. Last year they had a huge crisis when they wet leased a faulty, 23 year old B737 which caused many flights to be delayed and cancelled due to technical faults! Air Malta is a small company struggling to compete with the european low-cost giants!

    Hello brother. Just wondering how strict are Air Malta with weight when it comes to checked baggage and carry on baggage ?
    With checked baggage that goes into the planes belly I have 23 kilos. Most other airlines close their eyes if you're 1 or 2 kilos over but is air Malta very strict on this?
    And do they bother to weigh your carry-on baggage because with this I have 10 kilograms?

    • @MyTrips_Aviation
      @MyTrips_Aviation  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Gary. I didn’t have a checked bag on my flight with them so I don’t really know. I would suggest you read the passenger reviews on the airlinequality website to see if anyone has had any problems.
      Regarding the cabin bags, on my flight no one was weighing anything from what I remember

    • @garyhaber6957
      @garyhaber6957 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My Trips thanx. One other thing, if you buy a bag full of chocolate for example, and u don't want to put it in your carry on not to crush it or maybe it won't fit, u think they'll make a big deal and not want to let the extra plastic bag on with you?
