The events scheduled for this year are well diverse in flavour and set to please all, no matter the taste. As in recent years, Heritage Malta has once again laid down a number of events and activities all diverse and yet all thought to generate interest and nurture knowledge with regard to the rich heritage in the Agency’s care. From workshops to lectures and thematic events, and from open days to re-enactments and curator’s tours, the complete array enclosed in this calendar bears witness to the Agency’s commitment in making our patrimony accessible to all in a truly edutaining way. The variety enclosed in this calendar or programme lies also in the diversity of the museums and sites in which the events are being organised. Whether a national museum, a conservation laboratory, a dominating fort, a labyrinthine catacomb or a world heritage temple, each and every location serves as the perfect backdrop to the particular event, but most of all is in itself an important ingredient in making the same event unique. This calendar of events is indeed the key to a treasure chest, a chest full to the brim and overflowing with interesting facts and above all intriguing knowledge waiting for visitors to open and explore.

But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter. One two Warsaw and one to Frankfurt Main – the line on luggage security was more than 200 people and it was safe to ask the pilot again if this is the right plane when entering the plane. The on-board meal on the flight to Frankfurt consisted of a 30 g al- mond tartlet of a 65 mm size and a drink, on the connecting flight to Malta we had a honey nut bar and another drink.
