Flying from Manchester
Manchester is the UK's third-largest airport and the dominant Northern hub for both short-haul and long-haul. The airport's three terminals serve a deep mix of full-service carriers (BA, Lufthansa, KLM), low-cost operators (Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair) and intercontinental long-haul (Emirates, Qatar, Singapore, Virgin Atlantic). Northern travellers usually save 90+ minutes versus heading down to Heathrow or Gatwick — and on European routes Manchester fares are competitive with the London airports.
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.
