Good to know
- Málaga is slot-coordinated and accepts private flights only when capacity allows. A flight without an approved slot cannot operate, so book early in summer.
- Watch the weight on the way home: eight passengers and their luggage can be too much for a light jet's fuel load from Málaga to London, especially on a hot day.
- Arrive on time for the return: a crew that misses its start-up window loses its place in the departure sequence.
