The final day of the trip was a drive of around 130 miles to Malaga airport and a Ryanair flight into Leeds / Bradford at 11:35.

We allowed 2 hours for the journey to Malaga (not enough!!) and arrived at the airport around 10:00am. Then the problems started because we couldn’t find the pre-booked long-term parking. When we had eventually located the car park, we were still waiting for the courtesy bus at 10:40, just 25 minutes before the gate was due to close.

In the end, we made the gate with a minute or two to spare and were then greeted by a 1 hour delay due to French air traffic controllers industrial action.

Not for next time. Allow more time…
