Malaga Airport Guide

Hi Jo

Thanks for getting back to me. Mum said that she was so well treated at Malaga and I believe all sorts of assistance would have been provided if asked for. It’s useful to know though that, with the works going on at Malaga airport, at the Departures drop-off they try to channel all cars except taxis to the left-hand lane. I said to the guard on duty that my mother was minusvalida and he said he’d let me through on that occasion, but another time I’d need to show Mum’s disabled card. It’s worth remembering to ask disabled relatives to bring their card from the UK.

My mother can walk, albeit slowly, but is very asthmatic and has a bad hip so walking is difficult. She did say that totally disabled people can be picked up from outside. I took her to Check-In and they said that she’d get assistance after Security. I was able to help her to Security and kind people let her ‘jump’ the queue. She did have to remove her jacket at security which was a bit of a game because she had a shoulder bag diagonally across her, but I went through to help her off with her jacket. She then got a bit confused because they put her tray containing jacket and bag through the opposite conveyor belt to the one she was waiting at.

It was a pity that I could only see that but couldn’t help. She then just had to walk a very short way straight ahead to where the buggies waited, and she was taken straight to the plane.
All in all she was delighted with the way she was helped at Malaga.

Hi

I understand there are new security arrangements for arrival at Malaga airport.
Can you please tell me what they are?

thanks

Diane

You need to check with your airline that your flying with some airlines allow you to give info beforeahnd. The information you need to provide is contained on the photograph page of UK passports, and is the full name, surname, nationality, date of birth, and the travel document number (in most cases this will be the passport number) of each passenger.

Jo,

Not sure if you can help.

Returned from Malaga airport 3 weeks ago, our 1st (&probably last) trip to mainland Spain.

Our suitcase never returned to Leeds Bradford and I am devestated. Jet 2 are not been helpful - they just tell us they can not find it and we have to put in a claim.

Any advice? I do not want to put in an insurance claim, I just want my suitcase back.

i have read various messages on your site and it sounds like it may have been stolen at Malaga airport. Is this likely?

Thanks in anticipation.

Alison


Hi Alison,

During the busy period numerous suitcases went missing. There was one good ending where the suitcase did turn up.

Someone could have picked up up by mistake at your end or maybe it didnt even get on the plane, therefore is still in Malaga Airport. Give Malaga Airport a call

Lost Baggage - 0034 952 136 203

Just keep trying it may turn up, you never know.

Im sorry I cannot help further.

Hi Jo
I have a question - i am hiring a car in Algeciras at the port there and driving up to Malaga to pick up my boyfriend - how long do you think it will take to drive? and is it easy to drive on the roads? and which road should i take?

Also i'm coming from Australia - do i need to have an international driving permit?

Thanks and am looking forward to getting your response!
Kimberley


Malaga to Algeciras is probably about 90mins Drive. Its just 1 straight road N340. You Can go by Toll Road which is a nicer straighter road and there are signs to join. It ends at Benalmadena when it rejoins the N340 to get to the Malaga Airport.


Regarding the Driving Permit, Im not too sure, just make sure you bring it and maybe make a copy. You could always post a question on www.britishexpats.com

Hi Mark,

You cant really miss it.

Jo,
What can be done for disabled people travelling to
Malaga Airport, at the moment the experience for my
Wife, who is disabled can only be described as
dreadful. Because oof a mix up my poor wife had to be
carried on board by two male employees of the air[port
a completely unacceptable way to go on. With this in
mind my wife and I drove some 1700 miles to reach the
Costa del Sol because of this. This particular
airport authority should be ashamed of its record. I
had to push my wife a terrific distance upon arrival
and when returning had know assistance what so ever.
What can be done as in general europe has a terrible
record for affording disabled people access.

Regards,

Bill


Hi Bill

Firstly, just so you know we are not the airport.

We do receive numerous emails, so great and many bad about Disability at Malaga Airport.

Best thing is to email infoagp@aena.es

Hi Jo, I read your blog... I am leaving Costa Rica with my three fully vaccinated cats but it is a pita to get information. I cannot return to the UK as they demand that my cats have blood tests 6 months prior to travel PLUS they have to stay in quarantaine for 6 months upon arrival in the UK. I am thinking about Malta as I have a job offer there but they seem to have the same rule. I then thought Spain as I have friends and can work there too... Do you know the rules? Is it 6 months for vaccinated cats with Vet's Certificates as well? Can you advise me where to turn? Many thanks for your time Anneli

Hi Anneli

This is everything to do with animals flying here from the Main Aena Website

Pets accompanying their owners on a trip can be accepted as luggage when the corresponding tariff has been paid, regardless of the class in which the passenger is to fly.
As a general rule, these animals must be checked in and loaded into the hold of the aircraft, where they will be placed in a container which some airlines can provide.
Sometimes they are allowed to fly with their owners in the passenger cabin, provided that the pet does not cause any bother to nearby passengers. The owner must fulfil certain requirements and is responsible for the pet's care and transport during the flight. For this, the maximum measurements of the container must be respected, as well as the conditions of the maximum permitted weight of the animal with its container or cage, as applied by the airline and that should be previously consulted.
Animals must travel properly documented, through a pet passport or veterinary certificate, identified by way of a microchip or tattoo and with all required vaccinations (in some countries with an evaluation of antibodies). You can find more information at: http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/liveanimals/pets/index_en.htm.
It is wise, when booking or purchasing the ticket either at the airline or the travel agency, to express your intention of taking a pet on board and to be informed of the specific conditions for transportation.
Guide dogs
Dogs trained as guides to accompany a passenger with a disability will, in general, travel in the cabin, unless prohibited by national regulations or the airlines. The dog's transport, whether in the hold or in the cabin, will not be charged. It is not necessary to carry out any special procedure, but the dog must wear a muzzle, collar and lead. If the dog is to travel in the cabin, it will be placed next to the passenger in a place indicated by the crew.

My husband and I are planning a move to Malaga next year with our 3 year old son. My husband currently works at Heathrow airport and it would be great if he was able to get a job at Malaga airport. Do you know if this is possible without being fluent in Spanish and where I would look for positions?

Hi Jo,
Hope you can help!
Because of the huge construction happening at Malaga it has become a little daunting for access & egress.


We have a car booked with Sixt but notice their office is off-site.


Where exactly is it please? [their website just tells “Garcia Morato”]. Is that far? Is there a shuttle bus?


Many thanks for your help





Hi Declan

Sorry for the delay, i hope i am in time.

Sixt at the moment is outside of the airport on the opposite side of the road. They may have a courtesy bus. It would be best to give them a call and check before walking.

Here are the new luggage charges that Monarch Airlines have introduced. You can find the below on their website here too Monarch Luggage Charges

Baggage Charges
NEW HOLD BAGGAGE POLICY - From 19 September 2007 all customers booking scheduled flights (flight number ZB) departing after and including 01 November 2007 will have to pay for each piece of hold baggage they take.


Why do you now charge for hold baggage?
As an airline we incur baggage handling costs for hold baggage and it is now common practice amongst airlines to charge for hold baggage in order to keep our flight prices as low as possible.
Passengers are encouraged to take only hand baggage, where possible, as there is no charge for hand baggage and you can take up to 10kg in a single bag measuring up to 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. See below for more details.


How much does it cost to take hold baggage?
Pay online and save up to £6 per bag!
Online (flymonarch.com) = £3.99 / €5,99 / CY£3.99 per bag, per one way flight
Call centre = £8 / €12 / CY£8 per bag, per one way flight
At the airport = £10 / €16 / CY£10 per bag, per one way flight
Is hand baggage still free?
Yes, you can take up to 10kg of hand baggage free of charge.
What is the weight allowance for hold baggage?
Regardless of the number of bags, your total hold baggage allowance is up to 20kg per person (up to 30kg for Vantage Club Silver & Gold members) - this can be split into up to 5 separate bags. Any hold baggage over 20kg will be charged at excess baggage rates. The maximum weight of any 1 item of hold baggage must not exceed 32kg.


I have already booked my flights, do I have to pay?
If booked before 19 September 2007No, you will not have to pay for your hold bags as per your booking fare rules.

I'm flying before 01 November 2007, do I have to pay?
No, the new hold bags charges will only be applied to flights departing on or after 01 November 2007 onwards. Flights booked on or after 19 September 2007, that depart BEFORE 01 November 2007 will not have hold bag charges applied.
I'm flying on a charter flight (flight number MON), do I have to pay?
No, the new hold bags charges are only applicable to scheduled flights (flight number ZB).


How can I pay for hold baggage?
Online - Pay online and save up to £6 per bag!During the booking process - you will be presented with the option to pay for your hold baggage on the "bags & seats" page. Just select the passengers you are adding bags for and whether it's for the outbound "flying out" or inbound "flying back" flight and then choose the number of bags from the drop-down list.
After booking - if you don't pay for your hold bags when your made booking you can return to flymonarch.com, go to the 'my account' area and select 'change a flight' in order to add hold bags and pay the online charges. NOTE if you have already paid for hold bags and wish to increase the number of hold bags a passenger can take you will have to do this via our call centre, call centre charges will apply.

At the airport - if you haven't pre-paid for your hold baggage you can pay at the airport, however this will cost £6 more per bag than paying online and may involve some extra time when checking in.

If we're travelling on the same booking can we combine our hold baggage allowance?

How will check-in staff at the airport know how many bags I have paid for?

This is the information from Monarch Website regarding the information needed when flying to spain.

www.flymonarch.com


19/09/2007
Travelling to Spain? Monarch passenger information collected at airport, no need to call
After a tentative launch in June 2007, the Spanish authorities are now (from 19th September 2007) fully implementing entry procedures, similar to those used in the US. All passengers travelling on flights to Spain are required to provide additional information prior to their flight.All passengers are required to provide their full given names, surnames, nationality, date of birth and travel document number (passport or ID card number) when checking in for their flight. This process is entirely handled at the airport, requiring the check-in agent to swipe the passport through a computer.Monarch have been successfully collecting and sending live APIS data for all passengers travelling on Monarch’s Spanish flights since June 2007, with no disruption being caused to passengers or an increased check-in queues.Please check-in as normal, all data is collected at the airport so there is no need to contact Monarch prior to travel.Passengers booked on scheduled flights who wish to use online check-in will be able to provide their data at the 'fast bag-drop' desk or at the departure gate. Passengers travelling from Manchester Airport and wishing to check-in using the CUSS (Common User Self Service) check-in kiosks, will be prompted to swipe their own passports as part of the check-in process.

I am traveling on thursday 20th september to agp.

How has this affected leaving and arriving with a hire car from the terminal building (goldcar rental) Is it the same procedure as was always or has any of the road ways changed? a map would be good of the current situation if you have one.

If you have lost an item and are still in Spain, personally I think it would be best to go in person unless you speak good Spanish.

The agreement was finally signed in September for work on the second runway at Malaga Airport to commence. It will be built almost parallel to the existing one and will be able to handle larger aircraft like the Boeing 747 and new Airbus. It is expected to take 28 months to build and is due for completion at the end of December 2009. A tunnel will be built under the new runway to house the current Malaga-Fuengirola raliway line and new AVE high speed train which is due to run from Malaga along the western Costa del Sol. This service is due to be operational by February 2010.

When the work is completed the airport will be able to deal with 20 million passengers a year. It currently handles 13 million and this will increase its current capacity of 37 operations every hour to 72."


So the railway is not that far away in 2010!

Dear Jo,

We are a party of 6 people that will be arriving into Malaga onboard the Star Princess cruise ship at 7:00 am on Saturday, September 29, 2007. The ship departs at 6:00 pm on the same day. We are interested in doing a private tour to Granada to see Alhambra or perhaps to Ronda. Are you available on this date and do you have a vehicle that will accommodate 6 passengers. What would be the price for a full day tour? If you are not available, can you recommend someone who might be able to provide a private tour for our group?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi Jo,

My friend and I are arriving at Malaga airport with our bicycles packed in cardboard boxes and we wish to store the boxes to collect them when we finish our cycling holiday to use again to pack the bikes in to come home.
They are too big for us to carry by bicycle.

Do you know if there is a left luggage place or anywhere we can leave the empty boxes as close to the airport as possible?

Your forum page is a great service and of help to a lot of people. Well done.

Kind regards,

Graham


Hi Graham

Sorry for delay. We have so many questions.

There is no left luggage at Malaga Airport and have been asked this question before.

Best to give the airport a call at 0034 952 048 838

If you find somewhere to put them it would be great to hear from you so I can put it up on the message board for the next person.

Hi, I googled Christmas in Malaga and I got onto your blog. I am traveling their from December 27 to December 30 this year. Will the buses and trains run around that time? Is it extremely busy? Should I book my hotel now? I was also hoping to take a trip to Seville as well. Is that a good time to go? Thanks, Suzen

Hi Suzen

The website for the Trains is www.renfe.es

For buses its http://www.estabus.emtsam.es/

I cant get to find about tickets for Christmas, but Im pretty sure they will be working, although, you may have to change rather than go direct.

Seville is lovely. Not too sure about for Christmas

Christmas is funny here as January 6th is really the main day for the Spanish when the presents are given out.

I would ask some questions on a forum like www.britishexpats.com or www.holidaytruths.com then you can get some real personal information.

hi jo just found your web site hope you can help me i am going to gardeniapark hotel with my sister in october we are going to transfer from malagaairport by train will we find train station ok and should we get of at torablanca stop for gardenia park is it within walking distance hope to hearfrom you sandra x

Hi Sandra

The website for the trains is www.renfe.es. You need the local train so click on the drop down (Cercanias) on the right hand side half way down and go to Malaga.

Then you can put in all your details.

Im not 100% sure if this is the nearest station, best to call the hotel.

Malaga Airport Train is just opposite the Airport. There is a lot of work going on at the moment but you should find it ok.

How can I get from Malaga airport to Seville centre, ie bus, train etc.

Regards Jackie


Hi Jackie,
Have a look at www.renfe.es the trains in spain.

Here is more information about trains at Malaga Airport. There are 2 lines...main and then cercanias (which is local) so if you want a certain stop within Seville then you need to look at Seville Local.

Dear Jo,
We are thinking of coming to Spain and want to take the train from Malaga to Fueringola which I think is the end of the line and then we would have to take a taxi to Miraflores Club Resort but our plane doesnt arrive till 11.10 at night. Would the trains still be running?
Thanks for your assistance.
Regards Sandra


Hi Sandra

http://www.renfe.es/cercanias/malaga/index_horarios.html here is the link to the website.

The last train looks around 10.44pm so you may be getting a taxi all the way.

HI,

I'll be renting a place for 3 weeks up in Gaucin next June.I've invited many friends and relatives. My husband isafraid that I'll be running a taxi service.If I'm willing to do a part of the drive on the Gaucin-Malaga Airportroute--what is a good meeting place for me and my friends(understanding that they will be tired from their US flight andthey won't want to do lots of bus switching)Thanks so much.Rose

Firstly, if there is anyway they can fly to Gibraltar that would be easier and nearer you.

The problem is that the train only goes as far as Fuengirola which is still quite a drive for you.

They could get the airport bus which goes from Malaga Airport to Marbella Bus Station in around 45 minutes and is cheaper than the Toll at around 6€uros now!

Its still quite a drive though around an hour.

This is all I can give you. You will probably end up being a taxi service, could you get them to hire cars??? not just that but traffic can be high in June too so it will be longer

Regards

Joanne

Hi I am having difficulty finding a map of the airport ring roads. I wish to leave the airport and join the motorway for nerja.

Can you let me know the lanes to take out of the airport.

Many thanks

Hi Mary,
Here is a link to Google Maps with directions from Malaga Airport to Nerja.

Generally they are ok, but sometimes have a few glitches judge it for yourself and once on the right tracks check the signs.
