Flying from Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland's busiest airport and the gateway most international visitors choose for the Highlands as well as the city itself. The terminal sits 8 miles west of Edinburgh centre with frequent tram and Airlink bus service. easyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair dominate short-haul; KLM, Lufthansa and BA add full-service connections to European hubs; Emirates and Qatar route long-haul through their own hubs. Atlantic weather can disrupt winter schedules — build in a buffer if you're connecting.
Arriving in Alicante
Alicante (Costa Blanca) serves Benidorm, Valencia and the southeastern Spanish coast. The airport is 10 km southwest of central Alicante with Línea 30 bus service. Ryanair and easyJet run the heaviest schedules; Jet2 and Norwegian add holiday capacity. Costa Blanca fares hold up better than the Costa del Sol in shoulder season — book by mid-spring to lock in summer pricing.
