Airport Malaga Arvostelua 

Total chaos! People missed their Ryanair flights today, we only just got it, but that was because we went to the front of the queue, then was told we had to log on the exit scan, I have a house in Malaga, this is the worst I have ever seen it,
So bad it was untrue, I hope it gets better!

Staff so helpful
Really quick through security and the assistance teams are brilliant

Quite easily the worst airport I have ever had to go through.
To get through passport control took so long , the latest arrival flight was sharing the same baggage conveyor belt as ours which landed nearly 90 minutes prior.
Staff are incredibly rude and did not appear to know how to deal with large amounts of non EU passengers. We were directed to go to one queue only to be told by an obnoxious man (Staff No27) that if we did not return to the back of the queue in a different area, the police would be called. Needless to say, passengers in the same queue were not happy and a police officer was brought round and we were all told to re-queue.
Travellers need to be aware that this place will add nearly 2 hours from plane to coach/taxi.
AWFUL !!!!

As a seasoned traveler this is the worst for delays with passport control
Only 2 members of staff and children are victimized by being made to wait longer. A very poor impression for visitors entering Spain.

Very badly organised - and a poor attitude to customers. We arrived around 10.30am between Christmas and New Year. There were plenty of the new EIS scanners, but the fingerprint scanners didn't work - so we were directed to passport kiosks. Of 8 kiosks, only 2 were staffed!!!! Enormous queues got longer, but despite this other passport staff stood around chatting. Coming home, only 1 of 6 Passport kiosks, was staffed. This is very poor - they have known about EIS for a long time but have not staffed appropriately

Verpflegung teilweise 3 mal so teuer als am Flughafen Stuttgart.

There was a long queue in passport control and we were already 30 mins in the queue, which was moving terribly slowly. Then I tried to find a way to seek help from a custom staff and suddenly a security lady stopped me and was very rude to me. She didn't listen to my concern about the long queue that might hinder my boarding. I estimated the queuing time and I tried to explain to her that my flight departure time was in 15 mins and she said rudely to me that "you have to wait", not even listened to a single word from me. Then 10 mins later, a man in yellow jacket shouted for passengers heading to Bristol. Then a few of us moved forward and he helped us to move to the front of the queue to go through the passport check. After that, we and other passengers ran to the gate. This is the worst experience we have ever had in an airport.

Prácticas indignantes, retirada fraudulenta de dinero de la garantía en Nizacars Málaga. Débito de 320 € sin firma ni cotización, con el silencio cómplice de @DoYouSpain. Caso n.º DYS195052547. El silencio no borra la estafa.

"Outrageous practices, fraudulent withdrawal of money from the guarantee at Nizacars Malaga. Debit of €320 without signature or quote, with the complicit silence of @DoYouSpain. Case no. DYS195052547. Silence does not erase the scam."

Awful passport control hour plus wait. Put me off travelling to Malaga again.
Then 45 minutes queue to board plane also disgraceful
( easyJet). We’ve missed our slot to take off 15 minutes ago. Plane still boarding only half full. Probably still stuck in passport control queue.

No one is helpful here and people are just wasting time and safety people are misguiding. Twice they left me and my children on wrong place. Avoid Malaga and their help

Be prepared to have the gate changed at the last moment. Also it always smells of piss.

Absolutely shocking!!!! The electronic passport control is pathetic and everyone queuing up. If you’re not ready for the electronic service…switch it off and employ more human beings!

This morning we arrived at Malaga Airport, I’d previously seen the photos and the queues on social media regarding the waiting times and the total disorganisation by staff for non EU passengers (brits especially) being ‘Guinea pigs’ for their new system which is clearly failing, as the proof was a backlog of Paying Customers (your much needed Tourists) hours of queuing after a 3 hrs delayed flight from Birmingham, many people tired and frustrated at the lack of organisation and nastiness from Malaga airport Staff..many Brits in that queue were saying they are planning to bycott Malaga now as this experience is appalling, we won’t be back either, plenty of other places to go on holiday..

Avoid Malaga airport
It is a mess at passport control
No a/c or fans working
Toilets in that area are closed
Huge lines waiting time 45 mins to an hour
I can't imagine what it will look like in the summer

On November 30th 2025, I flew through Malaga airport.
They have changed the gate of our flight from D42 to D61, 1 hour before the flight while we were already waiting on gate D42 as announced in 1 hour and 10 min before flight.
This change was not well announced as the airport announcements are impossible to understand and they do cannot even call the passengers because they have a silent policy in the airport (as they told us).
We lost the flight, at our own full responsibility (as we were told).
Terrible experience. Terrible.

Worst passport control on the face of the earth!

An airport devoid of design the passport control is a horror backing up into the retail and food space.

I understand that the new EU entry/exit protocol is being phased in, but Málaga Airport management/security/passport control were just deliberately obstructive. We were told to register in the terminals before passport control when exiting the country. We both tried to register, but for whatever reason, were both told to join the manual queue and we could not register, this was about 90 minutes before scheduled take off. The queue was huge to get the passport stamped, back to duty free almost. It moved reasonably freely for a while and we thought getting through would not be a problem, but then all of a sudden it stopped. About 15 mins before our flight was due to take off, the passport control people must have stopped redirecting people to the terminals to register and actually started stamping passports, guessing management had proved their point to Brits at this time, and instructed then to get people through, as potentially 100's of people would have missed their flights. We eventually ran to our gate and got their at 11.44. We have never had to do this in 45 years of traveling😢😢
It was our first time going in and out of Málaga, and we will seriously reconsider not flying into here ever again. Flying is stressful enough without deliberate obstruction.

Check in opened at 08.30 and I was there shortly after that and it was already carnage. Took me an hour and twenty minutes to check bag in then fortunately an official let me skip the queue at security. Then I had to run to passport control yet another queue and on to board flight. Thankfully so many passengers were held up too so plane had to wait for us all to board. Not a great end to the holiday!

I used a company called NISO PARKING at Malaga airport and left my car with them for 4 days. The person met me on my return and handed me back my car. He then left very quickly. I then noticed that my milage had gone up 500kms + and a half tank of Diesel was missing. My car was covered in mud and after numerous attempts to contact them I have had no luck. This company is a disgrace and abuses the trust you put in them to look after your car, This company 'NISO PARKING' should be avoided at ALL costs. DO NOT USE THEM!!!
