When wanting to fly to the sunny coastal port of Alicante in Spain from Gatwick Airport in the UK, you can easily find good flight deals without going to larger or more London-central airports. Gatwick Airport, sometimes referred to as Gatwick London Airport (LGW) is a full-service airport that is based in West Sussex and is around 29 miles outside London city centre. It’s the second busiest airport in the UK, so ensure you have enough time for an international flight book-in, usually around three hours to be safe. You will arrive in Alicante at the Alicante-Elche Airport (ELC), which is conveniently based around 7 miles from the centre of Alicante. To get to the main city you can take the C-9 bus line directly from the Arrivals terminal to the city. With no trains from the airport, other good public transportation choices would be taxi, also found outside Arrivals, or Uber that you can arrange yourself. Alternatively, car rental in coastal parts of Spain are always a fun way to make the most of your holiday sight-seeing and you will have plenty options at the car rental service desk at Alicante Airport.
There are some flight deals which will take you to Alicante from Gatwick in as little as 2h30min on average with airline carriers such as easyJet, Ryanair and Vueling Airlines. These flights are often easier to find with some advance booking of over a week and are comparatively well-priced. If you are in a rush to get to Alicante and don’t mind a one-stop flight, Vueling Airlines do a Barcelona stopover, still seeing you reach Alicante in good time of approximately 4h50min. You can also find one-stop flights with Iberia, which again use Barcelona as the stopover point. This carrier will get you to Alicante in roughly 4h50min too. Europe Air and Ryanair also do the flight with a one-stop changeover, however your layover times are much longer.
For the most part with the Gatwick to Alicante journey you can successfully do this journey with no stopovers. There are direct flights available at great prices compared to the one-stop options and even flight-train combos. But if you do have to take a one-stop flight due to no flights on the day of booking then you will find yourself, for the most part, in Barcelona on your layover. This is the most common point of changeover for Vueling Airlines and Iberia and will see you waiting around 1h50min. There are a few select flights that offer the journey with long stopovers. Air Europa stops in Madrid for roughly 10h10min and Ryanair sees you stop in Dublin for roughly 11h05min. Neither of these flights are lighter on budget than direct flights or flights with short layovers, so perhaps use them if you want a couple of hours leisure time or a rest in the city of your stopover.
Luckily, British travellers can visit Alicante or any city in Spain for periods of up to three months without a visa. This could be for a trip of leisure, business, or medical reasons. If you plan on a longer stay, this can be arranged accordingly.
