quickFacts:
  - Single compact terminal — walk end-to-end in under 10 minutes
  - >-
    Main base for Ryanair/Wizz Air in southern Sweden; also SAS and seasonal
    charters
  - >-
    ~28 km east of Malmö; ~55–70 min to Copenhagen city depending on
    traffic/border
  - >-
    Schengen-focused; non-Schengen gates are a short walk within the same
    building
  - >-
    Usually quieter and faster than CPH — strong pick if your destination is
    Skåne
  - Security is EU standard; no TSA PreCheck/Clear equivalent
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: 'Arrive 90 minutes early, not 3 hours'
    detail: >-
      Peak pressure is roughly 05:30–07:30 and late-afternoon low-cost waves —
      add 20–30 minutes then. Evening SAS/BRA departures are often calm.
    summary: >-
      For most flights, 90 minutes before departure is enough; queues spike only
      on early Ryanair/Wizz banks and summer charter mornings.
    category: timing
  - label: Layout
    title: Treat it as one room with two gate zones
    detail: >-
      Don’t overthink ‘terminal changes’ — there aren’t any. Follow gate screens
      early; non-Schengen boarding can start from a slightly separated pier.
    summary: >-
      Everything after security is one continuous airside hall; Schengen and
      non-Schengen gates sit in the same building with short walks.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: Eat before security if you want a real meal
    detail: >-
      Airside food is fine for coffee and a quick bite but thin on variety once
      the last kitchen winds down — grab something in Malmö or landside if you
      have dietary needs.
    summary: >-
      Landside café options are more reliable than the limited airside
      selection, especially early morning and late evening.
    category: food
  - label: Live checks
    title: 'Use Swedavia + airline apps, not third-party boards'
    detail: >-
      MMX is small enough that gate changes still matter — recheck 45–60 minutes
      before boarding, especially on multi-leg Ryanair/Wizz rotations.
    summary: >-
      Gate, security wait, and parking status are most accurate on Swedavia’s
      Malmö pages and your airline’s app.

waterOptions:
  - kind: purchase
    name: 7-Eleven / café bottles
    zone: landside
    price: Bottled water from landside 7-Eleven and cafés
    summary: >-
      Reliable option before security. Dedicated free bottle-fill stations are
      not clearly published by Swedavia for MMX — do not plan on finding one.
    location: Landside check-in hall retail
    terminal: Main terminal
    isBestValue: true
  - kind: purchase
    name: Airside café bottles
    zone: airside
    price: Bottled water from airside cafés/restaurants
    summary: >-
      After security, buy water with food. Ask café staff if you need a tap
      refill; there is no well-documented public fountain network here.
    location: Airside restaurant / café area

# Malmö Airport (MMX)
Malmö, SE · Europe
A compact, calm single-terminal alternative to CPH that wins on speed and simplicity for Skåne trips, at the cost of thin airside food and minimal lounge/amenity depth.
## Airportist Score

**7.0 / 10**
