Flights To Malaga From Southampton
You can fly with the airline Flybe when you book your flights from Southampton Airport to Malaga. When looking at flight timetables bear in mind that Spain is one hour ahead of the UK in time and all flight times quoted are local for arrivals and departures.
I know that a number of families travelling into Spain with babies or toddlers do not want to have to bring their child seats with them on the plane. This is fine if you are planning on hiring a car as you can pre-book a child seat to be fitted in advance to be sure your family can travel in safety. Also if you book a private transfer you can specify that you need child seats.
Buses are obviously no problem, but if you are planning to get a taxi from the airport to your holiday destination please bear in mind that although it is a legal requirement for children to be transported in the correct seats taxi drivers do not carry them. If you have a baby then you will need to travel with in on your lap in the back of the taxi and wear a seat belt, but if you have an older child they will have to travel in a normal seat.
