Peak season:
The busiest season is from late June to August when the weather is driest and warmest. However, the surrounding months of April to May and September to early November also offer pleasant weather. If you do choose to book your flight tickets for the spring or autumn, then you’ll find cheap flights to Valencia easier more easily than during the peak summer. August sees the La Tomatina festival, around 30 minutes away in the town of Bunol. This is a famous tomato-throwing festival which is a lot of fun. Las Fallas takes place in March time which is one of the biggest festivals in Valencia. The streets are crowded with people celebrating the start of spring with a great fiesta. There is also the Region of Valencia Day on the 9th of October, which sees processions and floral offerings across the city.
Off season:
The coolest months are generally from around late December to late February and as such, you’ll find the cheapest flights to Valencia a lot easier to come by. Due to the cooler weather though, some attractions, cafes and accommodation options are closed, so you might be a little restricted on what you can do.

The main two airlines that provide cheap flights to Valencia are Ryanair and easyJet. There are others such as British Airlines and Iberia, although they tend to be with connecting flights. Deciding which airline is best for you usually comes down to the price of the flight tickets, although both are budget airlines, so there won’t be too much variation in the costs. One thing to be aware of it that they tend to charge a premium for checked-in baggage and any additional extras, especially during the summer, so bear this in mind when you’re booking or searching for cheap flights to Valencia.
The easiest way to get to the centre is to jump on the underground. There are trains that operate very regularly from the airport and go directly to different parts of the city, so you can get off where it’s convenient for you. If you are taking the metro, you’ll want either lines 3 or 5. A cheaper option would be to take the Aero-Bus which operates from 6am until 10pm, with buses every 20 minutes. Again, that has several stops along the way so you can decide where is best for you to get off. Another bus is line 150. This goes to the centre and is even cheaper than the Aero-Bus, however the timetable isn’t as frequent. Lastly, you can get a taxi to the centre but make sure to agree on the fare before you get in. It’s also worth travelling with friends if you can, so you can split the cost and save some money.
Valencia Airport, also known as Manises Airport, is a small air field by Spanish standards. Despite it having just one terminal, it still manages to process nearly six million passengers every year.

Valencia is considered a medium-sized airport in Spanish terms, but it feels dwarfed by massive airports like Madrid, from where many incoming passengers originate. Although it isn’t ideal for long stopovers, there are much less pleasant ways to spend an hour or two than relaxing in the airport cafes.
