How early would you recommend I be at CTA for a flight to MLA and the same for MLA to FCO? Both mid day flights. Thanks!
2 hours for non-international.
They are both not terribly big airports, but Malta's airport (like the country) is tiny. I showed up way too early and ended you going to each store in the airport to kill time.
As always, you should check your airline websites to see what they recommend. You may not take their advice; they may not be sympathetic if you are held up.
Whatever the airline suggests. You can kill time at CAT by looking at Mount Etna from the waiting area.
