When to Leave for the Airport
Off-peak (October–May): Leave 3 hours before your flight. The 50-minute drive gives a solid check-in buffer.
Peak season (June–September): Leave 3.5 hours before. The A-7 west can slow during summer mornings.
Early morning flights (before 08:00): Always pre-book 48 hours in advance. No on-demand transport from Nerja hotels at early hours is reliable without a prior booking.
The Balcon de Europa area has limited vehicle access. For departure morning, confirm the exact pickup point with your transfer driver in advance. A pre-booked transfer with the address pre-confirmed is significantly more reliable than calling a taxi on the morning of your flight.
