Which flights arrive when?
People often pick up friends, relatives or acquaintances from the airport because they are coming to visit.
Unless you have already exchanged information about the day’s flight status via WhatsApp, then:
you can follow the arrivals of the planes live here on the Malaga Airport website:
Picking up friends from the plane ?
Both with the car, as well as with a motorhome.
At the top of the departure zone there is an extra lane for buses, so motorhomes of all sizes can also get through. You take a parking ticket – the first 15 minutes are free, the amount of the fee depends on the parking time. However, the prices are quite reasonable and cannot be compared with German airports.
To save on parking fees, many vehicles wait at the edge of the road at the traffic circle in front of the terminal entrances and only drive off when they are informed exactly when the visitor is leaving the building. This is not entirely legal and you are often chased away by the police. This also applies downstairs, at the arrivals level, where vehicles pile up at the edge of the road. Here, too, the police regularly take action.
