Glad to see trip report about Air Malta...my home airline. Your question about steep decline, unfortunately yes it was in steep decline...but since last year Air Malta is improving a lot massively, lots of changeover, more destination. In fact, last May they got new plane Airbus 320 neo. They are getting another two of it this June. Exciting times for Air Malta.
Is it? Take a look at passenger opinions on Skytrax - disaster. Pity because they used to be much better. Some Aircraft with horrid legroom, one aircraft with red seats and other blue, some aircraft with old seats, not even free drinks (AM is not low cost) and expensive bistro. I can get better service with ryanair or easyjet. I have had good service from crew but that only does so much.
Great report, very complete! I had no idea a flight with them could be that mediocre. Hope you have a better experience next time! Also the views were lovely, even if it was grey and rainy in Malta.
5:05 I am Maltese and whenever I am going abroad with AM I always read through Il-Bizzilla to pass the time and it's kinda strange to read about your own country whilst you are actually leaving it. Edit: I have been to Heathrow twice now. Seeing planes all after each other in the air baffles me. In Malta planes land approx every 15 mins. Pretty different
Even though I really like the Air Malta livery, I think there are better airlines. Didn't know they changed to buy on board... Anyway, nice video mate, thumbs up! :)
Excellent trip report, Air Malta don’t seem the best, I think the cabin looks quite nice but the food looks expensive and I would love to see how comfortable one of My relatives (who is 6’4 is height) would have found the legroom. Overall great report keep it up.
@Cork Aviation and Heathrow Flyer, Legroom on this plane in the video, the 9H-AHS is awful. I'd say the worst of the AM fleet. My cousin flew on it and me pics and compared to one the other planes of AM, and the difference was a lot.
Barely watch reports about Air Malta so really great to watch this. A bit disappointed about the interior, but I guess their A320neos would be much better than that.
@@Vinavia The A320 neo has poor legroom, however, the interior is more modern with slimmer, red seats, LEDs and a parquet in the rather small toilet floor.
Nice, but the video title is the wrong way round - it should read ‘Luqa, Malta to London Heathrow’ - I was looking for a flight going the other way so this confused me! 🙂
Yeah, the seats are dated. Thankfully it's all going to change in the next 2 years (fingers crossed). They're taking delivery of another 2/3 NEOs this year and phasing out a couple of the 'older' 320s at some point. Nice trip report mate. Liked.
Jonathan Winton It’s a very small fleet but I was surprised this aircraft was only 7 years old, it felt more like 15. Would be good to see more NEOs, thanks for watching 😉
@@HeathrowFlyerTakeoff I know, I'm part Maltese and my cousin is an FO at AMC 😂 Up until 2012 we flew as a family pretty much every year with AMC to visit the rest of the family. Since just flown there mostly Easyjet and TCX. AHS was only delivered last year having previously been with Sri Lankan, I'm surprised they put the old seats in. It looks more like 15 your right.
@@JonathanWinton123 I think they refurbished one or two of their planes, the AEI and the AEK. AEK disappeared to Birmingham for 1 month last December. I dont like the NEO much. Seats on the NEO currently with AM are more uncomfortable. And less legroom than on their other planes apart from the AHS.
The seat looked a bit similar to AirAsia....btw if Malta isn't one of your favorite airports then Bali's domestic terminal must be one of your non-favorite too IMO, cuz the situation is similar - although Bali wins on its architecture and D&S (Dine and Shop)
Yeah, I see where you are coming from - the legroom is similar but I found these seats more comfortable. That's surprising, I've flown from Bali's International terminal and loved the infrastructure and design. Thanks for watching!
@@massimoabram442 What? I didnt understand what you meant. Legroom on the AHS is the worst and on the NEO it isnt very good either but better than the AHS. Legroom going to the dogs even on AM. The best seats for legroom are the economy seats behind the exit rows or the Extra Legroom section.
Another airline that doesn´t offer free bord service anymore ... a sad trend and I hate this marketing sentence: we decided to offer our costumers a better variety of choice, because they want it.
I think they do. Many complained "I dont need food for a 3 hour flight." The airlies listened I guess. Less costs I presume too. The odd thing is this: many people end up buying anyway. But I think better that way, you have a choice. However I think basic drinks like water, coke or tea should be free on an airline like AM which is not low cost.
Me clavaron 80€ por el equipaje de mano sin ninguna razón: las medidas estaban inferiores a las exigidas en la web. Un autentico timo, estafa y robo. Lo he reclamado tantas veces y no me devolvieron mi dinero. Espero que mis 80€ les ha sacado de pobres...... Una vergüenza......

Thanks a lot! Yeah, after a whole week there it literally started raining just as we pushed back.
Fantastic Flight Review mate! Liked
Nice Report! I was also on Malta and will release soon :D hehehe :) This airport was really nice!
FlyTravelXpert I’m looking forward to your video then 😉 Thanks a lot!
Wing view is great in the day, but for night flights I prefer Engine view as the engine lights up, great help when filming in the dark.

Nice report! I like Air Malta, unfortunately to my home base Air Malta operates flights within the summer season only..

Cork Aviation Yeah, I agree. I think it would be tough considering I’m 5’10... Appreciate it!

My pleasure 😁

Was working to change my titles a few weeks ago, apologies! I’ve also uploaded the Heathrow - Malta sector 😉
Hi sir when will malta airport open ?
Awesome!
Nice work buddy. I think that I would have been incredibly uncomfortable in that seat for sure.
Nice video again :-)

I’ve been to Malta love ever been to Gozo?
great video
Amazing 👍👍
Thanks man!
Good flight review. That legroom is terrible for this flight
Great trip report! Looked to be a very disappointing experience
Takeoff Aviation Thanks very much! Yep but I was pleased to fly on a new Airline 👍
No worries man soon air malta will replace the old a320 with the 320neo and the seats will be OK even the leg room.
Yeah, I was actually hoping to get the NEO on one of my flights... I was quite surprised that this A320 was only 7 years old.
The legroom in the A320 neo is by no means better!
@@HeathrowFlyerTakeoff Actualy it is only that they are testing all the possible combinations for the seating map on the a320neo

The 9H-AHS has the worst legroom in the fleet.
Amd today I confirmed that the neo has the best legroom
(9H-NEO and 9H-NEB)
