Malaga flights from Cardiff
There are four airlines which operate flight from Cardiff in Wales to Malaga Costa del Sol Airport. They are bmibaby, flythomascook.com charter and Thomson Flights
If you are flying into Spain from one of the larger UK airports lijke Cardiff which offers you a choice of airlines to fly with it is worth shopping around as the prices of flights can vary considerably from operator to operator.
If you are trying to keep your costs down and have some flexibility on the dates you can travel, then compare the prices of mid week flights to those closer to either side of the weekend and you are almost certain to find that they are cheaper. Also if you are able to travel every early in the morning or late at night you will find that charges for these times are often lower.
Finally if you are planning a holiday without children then avoid the months of July of August when families book to coincide with the school summer holidays. These months are the hottest, most crowded and most expensive in Spain.
