"could not go through security until 2am"

(Spain)

Trip Verified |  I arrived at the airport 12 hours before my flight (I live in a small town which has 2 buses a day) so didn’t have a choice. Was told by a very helpful lady I could not go through security until 2am, arrived back at 2.30am to be told 6.30am. Actually waiting looking at the security who are ignoring me right now.

"unorganised chaos"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | I wanted to share what an unorganised chaos it is at departures. Especially security. No communication what to take out. All we got asked 'randomly' is if we had any babies. We didn't. But then the mayhem started: everything out of the bag: including the last small items - what a mess. Clear signage and loud/clear guards should communicate all this beforehand and not when the bag has gone through. Unfortunately that was a very poor performance, if not the worst in 25 years of flying. No customer service, no help just blunt sending is back. Any assistance in putting the trays back was too much. Is this Spanish customer service? I'd say: avoid this airport.

"we’ve waited 45 mins"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | It seems several flights have arrived at once and immigration is not geared up to deal with so many passengers even though Malaga is now the 4th largest airport in Spain. So far we’ve waited 45mins and it’s still a long way to go. No information provided over the speakers and no staff to explain why the delay.

"1 hour for passport control"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Today, I was dropped off at 08:25 for my 10:55 flight to Glasgow. To check our bag in we waited in a queue for 1 hour. We waited about 20 mins for security and then 1 hour for passport control. It was absolutely chaotic and airport staff just shrugged their shoulders. People were running everywhere fearing they would miss their. Something has to change in this airport.

"all in all very bad"

(Netherlands)

Trip Verified | What a nightmare. It starts with the fact that they do not try to speak English and if they can do it it's very bad. Customs certainly don't know what they are doing - all in all very bad.

"Passport control a nightmare"

(Spain)

Trip Verified | Worse airport I have ever experienced. Staff (at least what staff was there which was very little) were completely ineffective in handling queues. Passport control a nightmare.

"This is the worst airport I have ever been to"

(Belgium)

Trip Verified | This is the worst airport I have ever been to. They are unprofessional and not helpful. They lost my luggage and still haven't delivered it to me even if I see on worldtracer they my luggage had been Found. I called every day and they just don't bother. Not a good experience for me.

"you could not get better service"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | My wife is disabled and in her electric mobility scooter, the mobility and assistance at this airport are second to none they are very helpful and could not do enough for us. We arrived at the airport early, as requested by Ryanair we went to the bag drop and thru security in 15 mins. We have used Malaga airport many times and you could not get better service. A big well done to all, including Ryanair who’s bag-drop was open four hours before the flight.

"controlling the queue as best they could"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | The departure queue for Immigration (UK flights) was very long as Chris Musson referred to below, this was at the peak departing time at 11am. However, it moved fairly quickly, and there were a lot of airport staff in green uniforms controlling the queue as best they could, and they were all very polite. None of us like the queuing that Brexit has caused for airport immigration around Europe. I just hope that those who suffer the longest possible queues were the ones who voted for Brexit!
