BA currently have a massive sale on Club Europe (Business Class) winter holiday breaks. I know this isn't for everyone, but if you want to try the Club Europe offering it's a lot cheaper than it would normally be.
Standard fares to Malta are £134 each way with BA Club Europe (£268), so this is a great deal comparatively. Also note that you will accrue a reasonable sum of air miles (relative to the price you're paying). Tier points on this route are very generous as well - 80TP each way, 160TP return.
There are lots of other destinations on offer too - just use the BA holiday finder to investigate. Other Malta options as well, I just picked out the best value. For example, 4 nights in the 5* Malta Hilton is £259pp with flights.
Flights are from London Gatwick (LGW), and for the 7 night stay depart on 10th Dec - 17th Dec. Other dates are available, eg. if you want the 5* Hilton for 4 nights you can go on 14th Dec - 18th Dec.
➔ I picked out Malta specifically as it is one of the furthest places in the offer, yet not any more expensive than the other holidays offered. Also, as I already mentioned, you'll get a good few air miles and tier points - useful if you need to get a few for the next tier. Current weather forecast for the period looks about 16-18C.
-----
Air miles update: It seems you'll get 1922 Avios each way (or more if you are in BA Bronze/Silver/Gold with the respective 25/50/100% bonuses). With the extra 842 Avios that you get for the holiday package... That equates to 4686 Avios + 160TP (tier points).

The buses are a bit of a joke.

Buses pretty good last year when I went, cheap and busy but not a problem!

they are joke in terms of reliability (arriving on time/at all), but you can't beat whole day ticket for 1.50 euro.

Super deals. Wish I had time off work to go! Malta is a great length of flight to enjoy Club and have some bubbly. Try to get a few hours at the airport and enjoy the lounge though LHR lounge experience is nicer than LGW. Tip: In the lounge they don't have champagne on display but ask the hostess and he/she will bring you some fresh from the kitchen.

Good price but LGW is dire.
I remember being told that Malta is nice and very red.
Enjoy your holiday if you've decided to go :smiley:

LGW made better by the Club Europe benefits :stuck_out_tongue: It doesn't compare to long haul business class, but it makes the whole travelling experience a lot smoother.

Their site has gone down for now. Great find OP. You made me spend half my monthly salary just now on a Spanish Holiday :stuck_out_tongue:
