Flying from London Gatwick
Gatwick is London's leisure-leaning airport — the home of British Airways' short-haul leisure operation, easyJet's largest UK base and a long lineup of TUI and Norwegian holiday flights. South and central London passengers reach it via the Gatwick Express or Thameslink. The mix is broader than Heathrow on European leisure routes, often cheaper, and you'll see the same destination served three or four times a day across competing airlines — useful when one carrier delays.
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.
