Live Flight Departures at Malaga Airport
Information about the Departures Halls at Malaga Airport
Departures/check in are divided between T2 and T3 at Malaga Costa del Sol Aitport.
Most flights to the UK still check in at Terminal 2. After you have checked in your baggage and have your boarding card you will be directed to Terminal 3 to clear security and enter the passenger only zone which contains the duty free shops and boarding gates. This is because these facilities in Terminal 2 are closed for refurbishment.
Trolleys are free and generally the queues at the check in desks are not that bad, but during the high season in the summer you might have to wait a bit. With the tighter security regulations it is advisable to get to the airport two hours before your scheduled departure time.
If you just have cabin baggage and have checked in online and printed off your boarding card then when you arrive at the airport go straight to Terminal 3 to clear security.

Malaga has three boarding docks. Dock B for non-European Union non-Schengen traffic. Dock C for European Union non-Schengen traffic and the new dock D for Schengen traffic (both European Union and non-European Union ).
