Air Malta

All quite confusing......flights are bookable on the KM website, a range of fare options are available (Promo, Econmy Saver etc), BHX appears on their drop down list of scheduled destinations and these flights have a 20KG baggage limit and in flight service as per their existing scheduled flights to LGW, MAN. However, a press release on the KM homepage clearly states that these are charter flights (to seven UK regional airports this summer including BHX) and when you get to the final booking screen flights are listed as 'Air Malta Charter Flight'. So is it in all but name really a scheduled flight, the only difference being there is no business class on offer? Come to think of it isn't that what in effect TOM and TCX flights are aswell? The old style BHX online scheduled timetable used to include TOM flights.

Whatever, it's nice to see KM back, twice a week and in daylight hours!
