Although there are no direct flights from the United States to Malta. So, traveling between the two countries is relatively straightforward.
Fly to Europe with a transatlantic carrier, such as Lufthansa, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, or U.S. Airways, then connect to the island.
The national airline, Air Malta, serves a number of major airports around the continent. But, you can also connect from multiple European cities to Malta with low-cost airlines Ryanair, Easyjet, or Wizzair.
