Another relaxing week in Spain. Visit to the bird sanctuary in Benalmadena, dining in some lovely restaurants, great golf and a visit to a seniors tournament proved to be a very pleasant way to have a last week away before autumn and winters sets in.
Then we depart for the airport and home. Malaga airport has much work going on at the moment to improve the facility. This will ultimately prove beneficial for the traveller, as long as the management and staff realise that they are there to move passengers and not mess them about.
Most of the recent times we have used Malaga it has been with Easyjet. I am a big fan of the airline and accept that economy flying will be a no frills experience. However the one thing that destroys the Easyjet experience is their attitude to checking in. Enormous queues for all destinations to a limited number of desks. Then as people get agitated and start to panic they call you forward at the last minute to close each flight. recently they have been abetted by striking customs officials and on this occasion by the staff who's job it is to get the passengers and luggage from the terminal to the plane.
There is nothing like an a long tedious queue, chaos at the customs and hours wait in blinding sun for the transfer bus to destroy a weeks relaxation.....
