Flying from London Heathrow
Heathrow is the UK's main long-haul hub and the airport where full-service carriers concentrate their schedule rather than chase price. Expect five terminals, fast Tube and Elizabeth Line links into central London, and a route map that skews toward business-traveller frequency: more daily slots, fewer fare wars. Short-haul fares from Heathrow tend to run a little higher than Gatwick or Stansted on the same corridor — the trade-off is a wider choice of airline and a more reliable timetable.
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.
