Allocation on arrival Malta holidays – where you leave the final choice of accommodation to the tour operator – are less common now than in previous years so when you look through holiday company websites you can still get late deal prices for a “named” hotel. The times of the year when it’s harder to get a late deal Malta holiday are the school holidays including the October and February half term as well as Christmas and New Year when in general you are best to book in advance and get an early booking discount. In peak periods there are sometimes cancellation holidays that become available so it is worth a look.
