Malaga Airport VIP Lounge
The new VIP lounge at Malaga Airport is worth a visit if you feel like a treat, have a delayed flight or if like me you have a Priority Pass which gives you free access.
To find the lounge you go through security control and head towards Terminal Area D on the right. Opposite O'Learys pub there is a flight of stairs, go up the stairs and the lounge is in front of you.
If you don't have a pass to get into the lounge then you can pay on the door, it's €20.60 per person.
So what do you get for your €20.60?
Well, the VIP lounge reminded me of a "Hilton Hotel" lobby area, lots of nice oversized sofas and chairs, I can't believe it will be overcrowded, it's huge. There are also "bistro style" tables and chairs if you prefer.
All snacks and drinks are included in the price of your entry. What's on offer will change a little day to day, when I was last there for a morning flight there was cereals, danish pastries, biscuits, tea, coffee, soft drinks, olives, crisps . . . I am sure you are getting the picture!
I didn't fly when the World Cup was on but if I did all would have been OK, there are 2 TV areas with bags of seating, one is at the back and a bit more private and the other is to the left of the lounge overlooking the internal airport garden.
Apart from very nice toilets there are also around 6 PCs at the end of the lounge and you can surf the web for free. An excellent selection of newspapers and magazines are also on tables spread throughout the lounge. For WIFI you need to buy Movistar WIFI Access (read here).
All said and done €20 is a lot of money to pay, but if your flight is delayed and you want somewhere quiet to sit and pass the time, or check your emails then it's not bad value when you consider that you could easily spend €20 on snacks and drinks over a few hours!
