Just gone ahead and booked a week in Malta for Easter.

It was the one we booked Pre covid so let's see what happens with this!

Looks a decent hotel too(hopefully!)

Malta is great. Loved it there.

It's a great place with lovely people and fab places to visit. Local Maltese food is different too, but very good . Shite roads, though.

So at the moment my 8 year old will need a Negative PCR test to travel?

Can we book in a PCR test like normal for him at a testing centre?

Hotel looks great mate. Did you book it and the flights separately or do a package holiday through a tour operator?

Used sunshine.co.uk mate.

Part of " on the beach"

ATOL protected and good reviews.

Pre covid I'd always book things separate  but you lose some protection incase something happens.

Pay by credit card and I'll get some travel insurance  soon so should be protected between all them platforms!!!

 

Didnt realise how daunting it all is nowadays!!!!

 

Already sh1tting it that my lad will test positive 72 hours before!!!🙄🤭

No you can't use the NHS ones. We've always used the ones at the airport on the way out, either Randox or Collindale. If this is for Easter away I wouldn't bother booking it for a while yet, it's possible the requirement to test might change by then.

Do you know what the weather is like at Easter?

We we’re hoping to go away at half term at the end of May, but the prices are ridiculous.

You'll be grand in April. I've been in November, December and January. November was still beach weather, December was too, only January was a bit too cool and rainy. April will be lovely and warm 😊 I've spent quite a bit of time there as you know, so any questions ask away
