Lost luggage at Madrid Airport

2008-09-23T16:40:00.004+02:00

Hi Gladys,

You seem to have all done all the right things to try and trace your luggage. The only other thing I can suggest is that you write to Aena (the Spanish Airport Authority) and lodge a complaint. You can email their complaints/customer services department on servicios-aeroportuarios@aena.es

Linda

Dear Gary,

I am from Kuala lumpur, Malaysia. On 6th September 2008 I had the misfortune of having to board an Iberia Airlines flight XG 1050 from Valencia to Rome, FCO. My luggage did not arrive and has been missing since then. I was in Rome and Paris for a short tour but without anything to my name… and did not receive any assistance even after filing for a claim and obtaining a file no. I did what most did-called all the numbers, checked online numerous times but to no avail.

I would like to seek your kind advise as to what I should do next as I do not want Iberia to be let off scott free for this inconveniences and grievances they have caused me. I arrived in KL yesterday morning with a whole new suitcase and personal effects. No news, no apologies and no feedback from Iberia. Although my travel agent booked the flight with click air…who is to be held responsible? I was in Spain for official work and was part of a government delegation and have since written an email to the Spanish embassy in Malaysia to assist me with my luggage. But is there more I can do from back here in Malaysia?

Thanking you in advance for your kind help.

Cheers,

Gladys

Bar/restaurant opening hours at Alicante Airport

2008-09-23T16:39:00.002+02:00

Hi Linda

Thanks very much for the quick reply, I feel so much better now:)

Mandy

Hi Mandy,

Cafe Medas in the departures lounge is open 24 hours a day and you can get a drink there. Or most of the other bars open at 7:00 am.

Hope the flight is not too traumatic for you - I'm not keen on flying either and agree that some Dutch courage definitely helps numb the fear!

Linda

Hi

I will be on a flight from alicante airport to dublin 21st September 11.00am. am a nervous flier and was wondering what time the bar in the departure lounge opens in the morning (it helps!)

Am unable to find it on the internet

Thanks

Getting from Reus to Sitges

2008-09-23T16:36:00.003+02:00

Hi Fiona,

Sitges is a 68km journey from Barcelona which takes just over an hour to drive.

You can get a train from Reus to Sitges (with one change) and to find out how to get from Reus Airport to the Renfe railway station and Reus city centre click on the link.

Your other option is to get a bus from Reus Airport to Barcelona and then another bus from Barcelona to Sitges or a train from Barcelona to Sitges

Linda

Hi Gary

I was wondering if you can help me please.

I am arriving into Reus airport on Monday 15 September at 16.45 and I need to get to Melia Hotel in Sitges.

Can you please tell me the cheapest way of getting there.
Is it possible to get a train and roughly how much it will cost?
How long the journey will take?
Price?

I will be returning on Wednesday 17th September for a flight leaving Reus at 17.10, so will need to reverse the journey.

Many thanks.

Taxi fare from ibiza Airport to San Antonio

2008-09-23T16:35:00.001+02:00

Hi Marie,

Taxis in Spain are not metered but have fixed charges from destination to destination so your son can ask the driver to let him know the charge before he sets off from the airport. San Antonio Bay is about 20km from Ibiza Airport so a taxi (which will carry up to 4 peple) will cost in the region of €30 single fare.

Linda

Hi Gary,

Could you please give me an estimated cost of a taxi for 3 people from Ibiza airport to San Antonio Bay? My son is travelling there next week and I don't want him getting ripped off. Was just wondering if it would be better to pre-book a taxi from the UK?

Looking forward to your response.

Many thanks,

Marie

Travelling under Military ID

2008-09-23T16:32:00.001+02:00

I am afraid I don't know the answer to your question - it's not something I have come across before. The best thing is to check with the airline you are flying with from Palma.

Linda

Hello, I will be flying out of Palma airport in a few weeks on Military orders, and would like to know if orders and a military ID is enough for identification, or is a passport required for international flights? thank you

Finding employment at Spanish Airports

2008-09-23T16:31:00.001+02:00

Hi Laura,

You need to contact Aena, who are the Spanish Airport Authority responsible for hiring staff at all the Spanish Airports. You can email their personnel department at portalempleo@aena.es and they will send you an online application form

Hope you manage to find something

Linda

Hello Gary,

I was wondering if you could help? I moved from England to a small Spanish village just outside Orihuela Spain in August 07 and have spent the last 12 months learning the Spanish language. I have been mixing with the local people and attending private lessons. I feel I am ready to look for employment as I can converse well, although I am still attending lessons I feel I still have things to learn. I believe I would now benefit from working in a Spanish environment not forgetting I am fluent in English. I will be 18 in April 08. I would be interested in any form of work at Alicante airport as it is only a 30 minutes drive from where I live.

Hope to hear from you soon

Checking luggage through from Almeria to Sydney via Madrid and Frankfurt

2008-09-23T16:28:00.001+02:00

Hi Jenny,

You need to check with the airline which you start off with in Almeria to see whether they can check you luggage right though (but I suspect they will not be able to as several different airlines are involved). If they can do this then you might still have to check in again at some of the airports to obtain boarding passes.

Linda

Gary.
I do not know if you can answer this for me.

I'm going to Australia in November this year.
My ticket has been purchased for me in Australia.
Iam going from Almeria via Madrid, to Frankfurt on Iberian Airways, At Frankfurt I pick up Qantas.

My question is does my baggage go on at Almeria then transferred all the way to Sydney Australia, and how do I get boarding passes. I only have 45mins at Frankfurt to board Qantas?
If you cannot help, can you suggest who to contact

Yours in anticipation Jenny Knight

Hi Dianne,

Car hire at Gibraltar Airport

2008-09-23T16:26:00.000+02:00

Hi Nora,

Booking your car in La Linea is by far the best option. If you click on this link it gives you details of Avis cars who are just opposite the entrance to the Gibraltar/Spain border.

Linda

Hi Gary,
we are flying into Gibraltar airport and going straight onto the costa de la luz.
We are looking at hiring a car and I think from what I read is best to walk across the border and do it directly on the spanish side?
If so could you please pass on a few details of some companies that are not too far by foot so I can organize before going next week?

many thanks in advance!!

Nora

Terminals at Madrid Airport

2008-09-23T16:22:00.007+02:00

Hi Rex,

The good news is that all Iberia flights operate from terminal 4 or 4C at Madrid Barajas so at least you won't have to switch terminals. The boarding gates for flights can change up to two hours before the flight is called so I'm afraid I cannot give you directions from Las Palmas arrivals to Johannesburg departures as I do not know which gates (or floors) they will be operating from, and the map that Aena (the Spanish Airport Authority) supply of Madrid Barajas will be of no help to you at all.

All I can do is to link you to an article I have written on Madrid Airport Departures which gives you information on the various departure zones in each terminal.

Linda

Dear Gary,
I am planning to travel las PALMAS - MADRID and then connect with MADRID - JOHANNESBURG, both flights with Iberia.
I have been thru Barajas before, but it is a complete and utter mystery to me. Last time I was with My son and partner and we eventaully made the transfer, but even they (at 34 and 32 years) had greatr difficulty. This time I will be travelling alone.
Could you please give me clear and simple instructions how to get from the arrival point from Las< Palmas< to the boarding gate for the Johannesburg flight. Also a map would be helpful. I really am quite intelligent (he says!) b ut up tonow Barajas has totally confused me.
Your help will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Rex Mirfin

Lost glasses at Palma Airport

2008-09-10T15:23:00.001+02:00

Dear Gary,
I lost my glasses on a recent journey to Mallorca. I either left them at Liverpool Airport, or left them on the plane - Easy Jet flight 7149 on Thursday 21 August, 19.40 pm from Liverpool, arriving Palma 23.10 pm.

On checking with the Easy Jet Flight staff on our journey home (3 September), they said that if I had left them on the plane they would have been handed into the Lost Property at Palma airport by the ground staff.

Do you have an e-mail address or telephone number for lost property at Palma, or for the ground staff ?

Many thanks in anticipation of your help.
Regards
Carol Ledwards

Hi Carol,

The telephone number at Palma Airport lost property is +34 971 789 456 or you can email them on pmi_reclamaciones@aena.es

Linda

Dear Linda
Many thanks for your help. It's much appreciated.

BonoBus Tickets at Tenerife South Airport

2008-09-10T15:21:00.001+02:00

Hi again John,

There is a tourist information office in the public area of the arrivals terminal at Tenerife Sur Airport, so hopefully you will be able to get your Bonobus ticket there. If not, you will certainly be able to get one for future journeys at the bus depot at Puerto de la Cruz.

Linda

Hi Linda

Sorry I should have said, we are coming in to the South Airport. For the last few years we have been coming on a package holiday but the operator is not using our favoured hotel this year so we are flying in on easy jet having already booked our hotel (Florida) accommodation. I would be grateful if you could let me know whether there is a Bono outlet in Sofia Reina as I believe Tourist Information Offices usually sell them and I thought there is one there.
Thanks ever so much for your help

John

Hi John,

Presumably you're flying into Tenerife North Airport? There is no bus depot at the airport (which is where you normally purchases Bonobus passes) and you can't buy them on the buses so you may have to wait until you get into Puerto de la Cruz before you can purchase one I'm afraid.

Linda

We are flying in during early October and making our own way to Puerto de la Cruz on the bus, can we buy Bono tickets at the airport and if so where please?

Thanks

John Prater

Contacting lost property at Valladolid Airport

2008-09-10T15:20:00.001+02:00

Hi Dave,

You can email the airport at vll_reclamaciones@aena.es - then you can run your message through a free translation engine to send it in Spanish.

Hope you manage to locate the camera.

Linda

Hi,

I lost my camera at Valladolid airport end of June this year, but as your website says there is no lost property department, and I don't speak spanish, and that's all they speak on the phone! What do you suggest?!

Many Thanks,

Dave

Out of hours car hire at Menorca Airport

2008-09-10T15:17:00.003+02:00

Hi Katie,

Most of the car hire companies have special collection points for arrivals outside normal opening hours. You can telephone Hertz at Menorca at +34 971 354 092 and ask them what provision they make for this. Their normal hours of operation are Monday-Sunday 07:00-23:00

If you are not happy with what they offer if it worth getting an online quote with a company called Cartrawler who hold a central database of car hire companies at Menorca Airport which they will match your requirements against and come up with a competitive quote.

Linda

Hello Gary,

I am hoping you will be able to help me …… my boyfriend and I will be flying to Menorca on Monday 15th Sept on an easyjet flight from LGW that is due in at 21.45. I have found a good car hire deal with Hertz on the internet but as I understand it, hertz closes at 23.00 and I am worried that if the flight is delayed, we will not arrive in time to collect our car?

Are you able to confirm what would happen in that circumstance or advise of a company within the airport that stays open for longer that would be a safer option?

Thank you very much in advance Gary!

Kind regards,

Katie

Buses from Reus to Barcelona

2008-09-10T15:17:00.001+02:00

Hi Becky,

Bad news I'm afraid, the 22.00 bus is the only public transport connection from Reus to Barcelona on Sunday 21st. The last train leaves the Renfe station in Reus city centre at 21.18 so that's even more useless than the bus. It's a 110km journey so a taxi or private transfer will cost a fortune.

The best thing is for you to check with Ryanair on whether or not the bus waits for passengers on the Birmingham flight, but if you suffer any delay you are completely stuck. Afraid the best suggestion I can make is that you fly out a day earlier and stay in Reus overnight and make your way to Barcelona the following morning ... sorry! Or you can hire a car from Reus Airport and drop it off at Barcelona Sants Railway Station.

Linda

Hi Gary,

I really need some help here! I'm flying to Reus on the 21st of September (a Sunday) from Birmingham, with Ryanair. The flight lands at 21.45pm. I need to at least manage to get into Barcelona Sants that night as I am starting a new job at 9am the next morning!

I've checked the Reus to Barcelona bus timetables, but I'm alarmed that the timetable lists departure for the people arriving on the Birmingham flight at 10pm! That gives me fifteen minutes to get off the plane, through security, pick up my baggage and get on the bus! Is this just an approximate time? Do they allow for the fact that people have to pick up their luggage, etc?

If not, is there any alternative means of getting to Barcelona after 10pm on a Sunday night?

Thank you,

Becky

Getting from Malaga to Jerez by bus or train

2008-09-10T15:15:00.001+02:00

Hi Brit,

The only direct public transport from Malaga to Jerez is a bus - but there is only one a day as you will see from this timetable. I am afraid there are no direct train services from Malaga to Jerez.

Your best option is to get a train from Malaga to Seville and then get another train from Seville to Jerez.

Click on this link for details on how to get from Malaga Airport to the city centre which is where the Renfe station is.

Linda

Hello Gary

Can you please help me . My husband, dougther and I are going to Malaga 080909 . From Malaga we are going to Jerez De La Frontera . We will like to go by bus or train. It is not so easy to find out from Sweeden.

Travelling from La Coruna

2008-09-10T15:08:00.001+02:00

Hi Linda

Many thanks for your prompt reply and detailed information which helps me a lot.

Regards
Lindy

Hi Lindy,

Your client is based in northern Spain. There is an airport at La Coruna which operates mainly internal flights, but your client can fly from there into Heathrow Airport with Clickair.

The other alternative is to fly them from La Coruna to Madrid with Spanair or Iberia and they will then have a choice of UK airports to fly into.

Linda

Hi Gary

Got your name off the internet on a google search.

I am a London based travel agent having to bring a client over for conference from Arteixo a coruña.
No idea where this is ! Can you please advise what is the closest

Train services to Antequera

2008-09-10T15:04:00.001+02:00

Hi Bob,

If you click on this link it gives you more information on the Malaga - Antequera rail link. And to find out fares and timetables from Malaga to Antequera visit the Renfe website.

Antequera Santa Ana station is on the outskirts of the main town I believe, but like you I cannot find a location map. You can telephone the station on +34 952 843 226 for more details.

Linda

Hi Gary

I cannot find a map tha gives the location of Antequera station relative to the main town.
Also I note that given info says that AVE will be operating between Malaga and Antequera,
does that mean that local trains are already running this route?
Hope you can help!

Bob K
