    "The trouble allegedly began before Ryanair flight FR7242 even took off yesterday with the travellers refusing to take their seats and playing loud music at the back of the plane, delaying take-off for 45 minutes."

    Subtle... very subtle

    There is currently a 4 day music festival taking place in Malta, called Lost & Found. All started by and organised by the great Irish DJ / radio presenter Annie Mac. She's great and really has an impressive career for a career path that is really male dominated. Seems to be a big tourist attraction for younger generation.

    That flight was obviously the main flight for the festival goers.

    You can book them all right at the water in St Juliens. Walk the length of the prom, get the brochures, and make your choice, then book.

    Latini Cruises are a good company. They have a stall on Tower Road in Sliema

    Malta is a superb holiday destination. We used the Hornblower cruises which picked us up at St Pauls. I could not fault them. We got 4 hours in the blue lagoon as part of the trip.

    Be careful with car rentals, video all around the car before you leave the airport.
    Even the larger companies are suspect.
    At least if you have evidence that the damage was already present before you left the airport, you might have some chance.

    We went to Malta for a week in June. I was not very impressed with the place we stayed in Sleima and thought their litter problem was awful for a tourists country.
    It was a place I would not rush back to. Valletta was nice and the ferries over and back but overall I felt that the building works and their litter are a real turn off.

    +1 on that , Valetta was ok, The old capital Mdina was beautiful as was the island of Gozo. Litter bad and a lot of building work going on. I believe some corruption in high office.

    Just home from Sliema myself, couldn't get over the amount of cranes and construction work currently taking place in Sliema, and the island as a whole. Puts Dublin's skyline to shame! Sliema was the perfect level of quiet/busy for me anyways, and can always go to St Julian's if wanting something busier.

    Valetta was lovely alright, very clean too. Mdina very peaceful too. Thought Gozo was horrendous tho to be honest and wouldn't go back if you paid me, although maybe we were just brought to the wrong spots.

    Public transport is very impressive I found too. Never waiting more than 6 mins for any bus to all the main spots and that Sliema-Valetta ferry is brilliant.
