Typically, passengers are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item (for example a purse, laptop bag, or backpack). Personal items must fit under the seat in front of you. Budget Airlines (like Ryanair or Wizz Air) have stricter size and weight limits, often requiring fees for larger carry-ons. Full-Service Airlines have more lenient policies, sometimes including more spacious dimensions or higher weight limits depending on your ticket class.
The list of items prohibited on an airplane varies by country and airline, but in general, the following items are not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage: Weapons and self-defence items, sharp objects, flammable materials, explosives, toxic substances, or liquids over 100ml (except for medications and baby essentials). In checked baggage, firearms (without authorization), explosives, large lithium batteries, and hazardous chemicals are prohibited. Electronic cigarettes must be in carry-on bags, while alcohol and dry ice have restrictions. Always check with your airline for specific regulations.
Malta uses the Euro (EUR) as its currency. Travelers find that both cash and card payments are widely accepted, but using cards is convenient for most purchases, while carrying some cash is useful for smaller vendors or markets.
In Malta, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing in crowded areas, especially in popular tourist spots and on public transportation. Common scams include overpriced taxi rides without meters and unofficial tour operators offering deals that may not be legitimate. It is advisable to use licensed taxis, agree on fares beforehand, and be vigilant when approached by strangers offering unsolicited assistance or deals. Overall, Malta is considered safe, but staying alert to petty theft and common scams helps ensure a smooth visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
