Hi John
Currently, you do not need a PCR test, which is more expensive.
You can get an Antigen test, at Malaga Airport, which costs €24.45.
Most people book an appointment online so that you do not have to queue:

Hope you enjoy your trip.

Hi John
The airlines do not make the rules!
If they did, in all probability, there would be no restrictions at all by the likes of Ryanair and EasyJet . . . .
The rules for travel to UK are set by the UK government.
You can either have a PCR test or a lateral flow antigen test:

The PCR test is more sensitive but it also is more expensive, so few travelers will choose this.
You can take the test anytime up to 3 days before your flight departs.
This is slightly longer than 72 hours before departure.
Best regards
Philip
