Just flown back from Malaga airport- total chaos. If you're flying home from there, try to get to your zone/gate area as quickly as possible after checking in/going through baggage checks. Problem seems to lie with passport control (last bit before going to gate) - Only two passport guards on duty for what must have been about two thousand people all trying to get to the same place - Zone C - where all the British flights seem to leave from. Stood in a packed queue of thousands of travellers all trying to get to Zone C for approx 1 hour which led into a very claustrophobic tunnel with little air conditioning. Lots of children in buggies, pregnant women, elderly travellers etc visibly wilting in the heat. Nice airport employee was moving down the queue to explain that the guards were working to rule with no exceptions made for boarding times etc. Upshot was that all gates had some passengers at them and the remaining passengers of all the flights stuck at various places in the tunnel and back out in the main terminal building. All UK flights were subsequently delayed. Pilot on our flight stated that Malaga Airport was a complete shambles, extremely understaffed and utterly chaotic and that the situation has been growing steadily worse for weeks. Big long rambling story but the jist of it is, you'll have a much more comfortable delay at your gate area than standing in a sweaty tunnel!!!
