Forget unpredictable UK weather - Head to Malta instead

With Malta enjoying one of the highest sunshine records in the Mediterranean, a bank holiday in Malta means you won’t have to worry about making a rain or shine bank holiday plan, to cope with the unpredictable UK bank holiday weather.

And for this August Bank Holiday Chevron Air Holidays is offering some new niche short breaks holidays to Malta. With Malta just a short 3 hour flight away you can be breakfasting in England and lunching in Malta when you could still be stuck in a traffic jam in the UK.

For those wanting to get away from it all Chevron has short breaks to rural retreats, fun packed family resorts and for those looking to party the nights away, there are some great value for money packages for clubbers to the hip centre of St Julians.

Following are some examples of available short breaks to Malta, all departing from London Stansted on 25 August and returning on the bank holiday Monday. Chevron Air Holidays also has departures from Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, East Midlands, Newcastle, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds/Bradford, Exeter, Glasgow and Heathrow.
