Alicante new terminal

Used the new terminal at the weekend and was impressed as everything worked pretty efficiently. I don't like being "flushed" through duty free after security but this nothing new for UK passengers. Plenty of space but could do with some more seats. Didn't find the price of food and drink any worse than other airports. As other people have said, the terminal is warm but I didn't find it uncomfortable.
The thing that did bug me was the touts that suddenly appeared when boarding was announced. They sprung into action when the "Ryanair scrum" formed, asking people to do a "survey". I refused to give my details but a few people did. Pretty crafty waiting for boarding so they were less likely to be spotted, but hopefully the airport staff will get wise to this and get rid of them.
