Live Flight Arrivals at Malaga Airport
Malaga Airport Terminal 3 Arrivals Hall
The arrivals area can only be accessed through Terminal T3. The terminals at Malaga Costa del Sol Airport are just a few minutes walk from each other and can be easily reached by travelators, lifts and escalators.
If you land at Terminal 2 at Malaga Airport you will be directed into the new Terminal 3 to clear security and collect your baggage. This is because the older Terminal 2 is currently undergoing refurbishment.
Baggage Reclaim at Malaga Airport Terminal 3
Once you have gone through passport control you need to take the escalators down to the baggage reclaim hall where in T3 there are 11 baggage reclaim carousels (9 for European Union flights and 2 for non-European Union flights) and 1 for special baggage. The hall in T2 has 10 baggage reclaim carousels.
The new automated baggage handling system can handle 7,500 cases per hour, with an approximate processing time of 3 minutes.Make sure you follow the signs and go down the escalators to the baggage reclaim (even if you only have hand luggage) as this is also the way out to the terminal forecourt which is where the bus stops and taxi rank are located.
