Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is easiest in Europe to reach by public transport, says report
MÁLAGA airport is the 'most accessible' in Europe in terms of ease and cost of getting to and from it, according to a new report.
Travel group GoEuro gave the Costa del Sol terminal a score of 99.9 out of 100, putting it ahead of some of the main European airports such as Paris-Charles de Gaulle, London Heathrow and Frankfurt.
GoEuro studied different combinations of methods of transport for the 30 airports with the highest level of passenger traffic in the EU, giving points for price, length of journey and how fast and convenient it was.
Málaga city centre is less than €2 from the airport, and it heads up the top 10 terminals in Europe for being the closest to the urban hub, along with Lisbon, where the metro is just outside the door of Arrivals, and Nice- Côte d'Azure.
Palma de Mallorca airport came ninth for being nearest the city itself, and Barcelona-El Prat and Madrid-Barajas were 10th and 11th for having the quickest, cheapest and most convenient forms of transport.
The fastest public transport from airport to city was found in Düsseldorf, Germany, and the cheapest was in Warsaw, Poland, the survey says.
