Flying from East Midlands
East Midlands Airport is a regional hub between Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, dominated by Ryanair and Jet2 with TUI adding charter and package routes. The terminal sits 15 miles southwest of Nottingham and 13 miles west of Derby, with Skylink bus services connecting both. The route network is short-haul-only and skews holiday-leisure — Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy are the strongest corridors. Long-haul travellers usually drive to Manchester or Birmingham for a wider choice.
Arriving in Seville
Seville Airport is 10 km northeast of the city, with EA bus running direct to Plaza de Armas in 35 minutes for €4. Ryanair and Vueling dominate the route. Seville is a winter and shoulder-season city break — summer temperatures (35–40°C) push UK travellers away, and fares drop in July–August as a result. Spring (April Feria de Abril aside) is the value sweet spot.
