Flights.
There are many flights from UK to Malaga every day, almost from dawn to midnight. After a look at the usual suspects "budget airlines" Easyjet and some others the fares seemed unusually expensive for the time of year. We go early October and there are no children's school holidays to bump up fares so I shopped about.
We fly Norwegian out from Gatwick at 0940 and it should arrive about 1330 including the hour time difference.. No, I hadn't in my wildest dreams expected to fly Norwegian from London to Malaga. But the fare was friendly and they claim to have a few extra inches in leg room.
Coming back it is British Airways. The problem I always have is that you leave your apartment usually about 1000 and have to think of things to do with a car full of luggage and then rush to the airport for the long queue to check-in and hang about. So I picked an early afternoon flight back at 1425 which arrives at Gatwick just after 1610. Plenty of time to retrieve the car from the parking garage. The plus side was a €72 fare for two return.
Car-Hire.
After a year off from having a car on our trips to Spain, this year we have once again chosen an apartment complex that needs a car to get about.
Torrenueva Park is a decent uphill slog from the N340 coastal highway and the nearest bus stop from Malaga or the west.
Although not that cheap, car hire is relatively easy. This year I checked on Tripadvisor to see who was recommending what hire company. There were lots of positives for Malaga Car. Their office is off airport on the approach road from the motorway.
I have a vague idea we used them before. So I have booked with Malaga Car again. As usual only the cheapest car which is advertised as a Ford Ka or similar.
