Malaga is in Europe. I assume you're flying from anotrher European city, maybe from the UK? If so, you won't find any airline providing 1st class for flights within Europe. It's only found on intercontinental flights and even then, not all airlines provide it - most only business class at most.

[christmc]

I cant even find business class ? could you recomend an airline ?

thanks

BA go from Gatwick to Malaga and have a Business Class cabin.

ETA....Also from London City!

[Silver993tt]

BA fly direct from Heathrow, around £500 return in business class.

Would I be right in thinking that "business class" on such a short flight would just be the first few rows of seats with a curtain between you and economy - no extra legroom, wider seats, seperate cabin etc?

BA don't operate a service to Malaga from Gatwick.

From Heathrow (as said already) it's around £500 in business or £ £150 in economy. No brainer, take economy and save enough money to have free meals for a week.

Strangely..the do indeed at the moment operate from LHR but not showing a schedule (yet!) for LHR-AGP in the summer months. Looks like it'll be all LGW.

Where do you get that info from? The BA website states the following:

"We do not operate a direct service from City Airport (London) to Malaga."
"We do not operate a direct service from Gatwick (London) to Malaga".

all the shorthaul flights I've been on in europe with BA, Iberia and BMI have a few rows of seats curtained off, seats look the same as the others though.

ok fair enough but you can't book the flights if the schedule isn't available. ALso, what's the nearest airport for the OP? Just checked, you can book from LGW to Malaga.

Nearest is manchester but we have a home in london too so both London airports are viable

Jet2 go direct from Manchester but the don't have a premium cabin. In fact they're quite pikey.

[christmc]

I would rather drive than go on Jet 2, so what are we saying then, there seams to be a debate,


Is it Heathrow or Gatwick which has Business class ?

At the moment...LHR

In the summer...LGW

Both with BA.

[christmc]

Great thank you, seems like a bargain, as low as £200 pp for Business class

Not up the front chum! Cheapest I can see (using August 2011 as an example) is £459 incl. tax per head.
