"Airport never ever lets us down"

(Spain)

Trip Verified | Airport never ever lets us down. One of the most efficient/organised airports I fly from. Easy bag drop off, easy security transition. Straight through within 10 minutes max, would have been quicker if other passengers would remove liquids before they get to the security gate. See you again soon and keep up the amazing work your staff are doing.

"took 45 minutes to get through"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Sad to see a once excellent airport reduced like this. After a brisk baggage check in by Jet2.com it was straight into the labyrinth of security checks. Plenty of desks but no strategy and not much checking action despite all bays being operational. But I’ve experienced worse. However, what should then have been a leisurely review of eating options ground to a halt when we came across a queue, which snaked round all the concessions and headed for the passport check area, including where both sides of the queue were side by side. I’m not so bothered by queuing as such, but there was literally not one person, barrier or control until the final 20 metres. I suspect it was 200 metres long. It took 45 minutes to get through, plenty of panicking travellers trying to sneak in and plenty of rising temperatures. What a terrible impression when there really is no need.

"shambles of an airport"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Awful. A most disorganised, shambles of an airport from start to finish. Clearly a lack of leadership, too many fliers vs capacity.

"too small to handle the number of passengers"

(United States)

Trip Verified | The airport seems to be too small to handle the number of passengers going through it. Check-in lines were long, as was the passport control line for passengers heading out of the Schengen area. While I avoided that line, there were so few seats in the Schengen gate areas that the crowds spilled out into the hallway, making it very hard to navigate. I found it worrying that the airport had private security guards walking around with billy clubs and handcuffs, like they were expecting trouble from the passengers. I believe that the airport should spend money on improving the facilities, especially in the area of seating and staffing, to make the airport a more pleasant experience for its passengers.

"queues to get through passport control"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Malaga Airport is a disgrace for travellers going home. There are queues to get through passport control which are the worst I've ever seen. There is no warning and no communication at all to even advise passengers they need to queue for hours and possibly will miss their flight. There was no one to ask and flights were getting delayed as the aircraft were hanging on trying to wait for their passengers still queuing in the terminal through no fault of their own. The airport staff were hopeless. We had 5 minutes to our take off time, had been queuing for two hours and had to jump the queue and run to the gate to board. The passport control staff showed no consideration and were behaving like robots. They took no responsibility and organised nothing! Like many others we were lucky to get on our flight because TUI waited but I'm sure there are people left stranded in Malaga. Shame on you all at Malaga!

"passport control has now to be the worst in Europe"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Malaga airport passport control has now to be the worst in Europe. It took us an hour to get through the control on arrival and the same returning. Been travelling to Malaga for last 12 years but will now look at alternatives as the situation at the airport is out if control. Management of queues is a farce as people just jump the queue by asking weak officials which queue to go in and they simply allow them to join where they ask the question.

"huge queue for passport verification"

(United Kingdom)

The worst airport - I would never fly here again. Trapped in a huge queue for passport verification with one officer and no help. Truly a disgusting way to treat visitors.

"Come on Malaga you can do better!"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Arrived on a Jet2 holiday got into arrivals and it was utter chaos, no staff, no lanes to stop people pushing in. Not a sign to say which way to queue. It was getting very close to violence in the area, none of the staff that did come eventually seemed to have a clue how to sort the mess out or did not seem the slightest bit interested in doing so. Travelled on a Friday but will never do so again, 1.5 hours to get to our taxi transfer. Come on Malaga you can do better! Departing to come back to England, great airport, staff great and jet2 staff even better.

"Covid19 test centre is very unprofessional"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | The Covid19 test centre at Malaga Airport is very unprofessional leaving many people to strain without the ability to get the test done and as a result losing their flight. Due to high demand they ask you to book in advance. Better do the test before travelling. Clinica Santa Elena in Torremolinos is just less than 10 minutes by taxi and the cost of the antigen test is €30, and 10 minutes to get the result. I was travelling on Bank Holiday and I arranged the taxi to wait for me in the clinic until I've got the result. Taxi cost was €30 as well. I hope this review helps everyone.

"Well done Malaga Airport!"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I passed through Malaga on the 12th August, and the review below shows me that the staff at the airport are doing their job well, and indeed so was the captain of the flight the user was taking. Almost everybody wears their masks correctly in the airport, and it is the staff's duty to check those who do not, whether they state they are exempt or not. Well done Malaga Airport!
