Travel Assistance at Malaga Airport - Personal Write Up

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.

New Information when travelling to Spain

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.

Lost suitcase with Jet 2 at Malaga Airport

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.

Driving from Algeciras to Malaga Airport

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

Disabled at Malaga Airport

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
Im sorry I cannot help more.

Traveling with Cats to Spain

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.
Here is the link to the main page where you can down load a file with more information

Sixt Car Hire Malaga Airport

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.

New Luggage Rules from Monarch Airlines

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.
If booked on or after 19 September 2007 Yes, if your flight departs on or after 01 November 2007 you will be required to pay for your hold baggage. If your flight departs before 01 November 2007 you will not be required to pay for hold baggage.
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.

Online check-in - you can add hold bags to your booking as you check-in online. 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 or at the airport, applicable charges will apply.

Call centre - as part of your flight booking you'll be asked to pay for your hold baggage. You can add or increase your number of hold bags via our call centre at anytime after your initial booking, up to 4.5 hours prior to departure.

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?
Yes, you can combine your hold baggage allowances e.g. you can pay for 2 bags and take 1 large bag or 1 large and 1 small bag. Note unused hold bag charges are non-refundable, please ensure you only pay for the number of bags you will be taking. Any single item of hold baggage cannot exceed 32kg.

I am changing my flight dates, do I have to pay again for hold bags?
If you change your flight dates your hold bags charge will transfer to your new booking. However if you decide to take fewer or no hold bags the charge is non-refundable.

Unless your travel agent / tour operator booked your flights on flymonarch.com, the hold baggage fee will have been included in the price you paid. Please contact the travel agent / tour operator you booked with to confirm whether or not the hold baggage fee has been included in your booking.

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

New Rules for flying to Spain by Monarch

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.

Works at Malaga Airport

Here are some photos I took on Saturday 16th September 2007 from facing Terminal 2.

We went to have a look at Malaga Airport the other day to keep up to date with the works.

Considering all the work going on, it is very orderly and amazing how everything is continuing to carry on.

Driving up towards the airport there is a temporary bridge from the Airport going across the road to Malaga Train Station. If you are leaving the airport to go to the station is is clearly marked opposite the terminal for where you should walk.

We drove into the new car park that is now open, we were very surprised how small all the spaces, it really was quite tight! As you drive through it, you join up with the old car park.

Eventually once all work is done, the airport should be capable of handling 9,000 passenger an hour. New Car, new passenger terminal and a second runway is what will eventually be built.


There is lots of security and people around to help if you need. There is a big walkway going in in front of the car park

Wrapping Machine at Malaga Airport

As you enter the Main Departures Lounge in Terminal 2 there are 2 wrapping machine areas for you luggage either side of the Terminal

It cost 5euros per item.

Restaurants at Malaga Airport before Security

If you get to Malaga Airport early and have checked your luggage in but dont want to go straight through, there are a few places to eat in the departures lounges of Terminal 1 & 2.

There are a number of small cafe areas and in terminal 1 there is Burger King and also Spanish Restaurant.

Once you go through security there are places to eat and grab a bite too.

Terrace At Malaga Airport

In Terminal 1 area there is an outside terrace area if you need that quick ciggy or just a breath of fresh air before you go through security.

From the main departures lounge Terminal 2 walk towards the left hand side and down the slope. At the very end passed the Post Office, Chemist and Lost Property is a terrace area.

Burger King at Malaga Airport

If you get to the airport early and dont want to go straight through security, then in Terminal 1 area (walk to the very left inside terminal 2 and down the slope) there is a Burger King Restaurant.

There are still places to eat once you go through to security but some people do prefer their Burger Kings!

Then afterwards you can chill out on the Terrace!

Chemist at Malaga Airport

There is a large Chemist / Farmacia at Malaga Airport in Terminal 1 before you go through Security.

As you enter the Main Departures Lounge in Terminal 2 continue to walk left and down the slope and on the left hand side just after the Post Office at Malaga Airport is a large Chemist.

Lost Property Office at Malaga Airport

As you enter the Main Depatures Terminal 2, walk in and go left passed all the Gates. As you walk down the slope you enter terminal 1

Go passed the Post Office / Correos, Chemist and Place of Worship and at the very end is the office for Lost Property.

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.

I find that once in person things are much easier and you are more likely to get a result.

Malaga Lost Property Telephone Numbers 952 048 851
952 048 837

Malaga Airport Plans

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!
