How to get from Malta Airport to your accommodation?

Transfer and taxi from Malta Airport is an important decision when you want to go to Valletta, Sliema, St Julian’s, Paceville, Mdina, Rabat, Mellieħa, Cirkewwa ferry terminal, Gozo connection, a business address or a Maltese hotel after arrival. Malta International Airport (MLA) is the country's main airport, therefore passengers choose between taxi, private transfer, bus, shuttle, hotel transfer or a pre-arranged chauffeur solution.

Unifly does not promise fixed, unchecked fares. The actual price and travel time may depend on the destination address, time of day, traffic, peak season, vehicle type, luggage, waiting time, ferry departure and the provider's terms. Before booking, always check the meeting point, the bus or shuttle connection, the luggage rules, the payment method and the handling of flight delays.

When is a taxi or private transfer better?

A taxi or private transfer is convenient when you arrive directly at a hotel, apartment, towards Sliema or St Julian’s, family accommodation, Cirkewwa ferry terminal, Gozo connection or with a lot of luggage. For late evening arrivals, with children, in peak season or for addresses requiring multiple transfers, a direct route can provide less uncertainty.

When should you choose a bus or shuttle?

A bus or shuttle can be a good choice if you travel with few bags and the stop is close to your accommodation or district. It can be particularly useful towards Valletta if the route fits your schedule. With large suitcases, late at night, in peak season or seeking door-to-door convenience, a taxi or private transfer may be simpler.

What to check before departure?

Check the taxi stand or driver meeting point, the bus or shuttle departure, the destination area, the luggage rules, the waiting time and the payment terms. Allow extra buffer time for Sliema, St Julian’s, Mdina, Cirkewwa or Gozo connections.
