Fly from Marbella

Which airport do I fly from for Marbella?

Marbella has no airport of its own - you fly from Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP), about 40km east along the coast. It's one of Spain's busiest airports, with a huge choice of European routes and carriers. Gibraltar (GIB) is a distant alternative to the west, but Málaga is the practical choice for almost everyone.

How do I get from Marbella to Málaga airport?

The Avanza direct coach runs between Marbella bus station and the airport in about 45 minutes for roughly €9-10. A taxi or pre-booked private transfer takes 35-45 minutes depending on traffic on the A-7. Allow extra time in the summer peak, when the coastal road gets busy.

Which airlines fly from Málaga?

Málaga (AGP) is served by a big line-up of budget and legacy carriers - Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling, Jet2, British Airways, Iberia and many more. Between them they reach most of Europe directly, with common routes to the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. The strong competition keeps Costa del Sol fares among the most affordable in Spain.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Marbella?

Spring and autumn - roughly April to early June and September to October - offer lower fares than the July-August peak, with warm weather and thinner crowds. Winter (sans Christmas) is the cheapest of all. Mid-week departures booked a few weeks ahead beat summer weekends and school-holiday dates.
