Luqa airport to Mellieha is a route from Malta Airport (MLA), the nearest airport to Mellieha, which has no airport of its own. The towns are about 17 km apart in a straight line, although the road distance is longer.

Ways to get from the airport to Mellieha

Private transfers booked ahead suit travellers who want a planned pickup, help with luggage and a direct trip to their accommodation. They are particularly useful for families, groups and arrivals outside the hours when you want to arrange transport locally.

A taxi from the airport rank is a straightforward choice after landing. It suits travellers who prefer to arrange transport on arrival, although you should confirm the current fare and payment arrangements at the airport before setting off.

Public transport can suit solo travellers and those travelling light who are happy to follow the current route and service information. Services may involve changes, and the final walk from a stop can be less convenient with heavy bags. Check the airport or transport operator for current details before travelling.

A hire car gives you flexibility for exploring Mellieha, the coast and the rest of Malta. It is best for visitors planning several outings, but consider parking, local driving conditions and whether you want to drive after a flight.

Booking a private transfer

After booking, keep your accommodation details, flight information and a working mobile number ready. In arrivals, follow the agreed instructions to meet your driver. If your flight is late or delayed, use the contact details supplied with the booking and check how flight monitoring or changes are handled.

Tell the provider about the amount of luggage you expect, including bulky items. Request suitable child or infant car seats in advance and provide the relevant ages or sizes, as availability and fitting arrangements can vary. Confirm the pickup instructions before you travel, especially if your accommodation has a restricted access road or a separate entrance.
