How to find cheap flights to Spain

Spain. So much to see and do there. But what’s great about Spain is that, wherever you go, you can do as little or as much as you please, being under no pressure at all to get ‘holiday active’.

 

Cheap family holidays to Spain are easy to find and book through directline-flights. Which Spanish resort will you head for this year? Holiday resorts in Spain include Alicante, Almeria, La Pineda, Marbella, Puerto Banus, and hundreds of other resorts along the Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Costa Dorada, Costa de la Luz, and also in Granada, Alpujarras, and Andalusia.

 

Cheap flights to Spain are easy to find through directline-flights; we’ve picked out a couple of Spanish holiday destinations to illustrate what we mean.

 

British Airways and national carriers like Iberia offer surprisingly cheap flight tickets to Barcelona, as do budget airlines like bmibaby, EasyJet and Ryanair. Bargain fights to Barcelona leaving from a number of UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle are always available all-year- round. You can also by cheap tickets to Barcelona flying from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Aberdeen, as well as Cardiff, Belfast, Cork and Dublin.

 

Malaga holidays and city breaks have always been popular with individual travellers, couples and groups; but, primarily, it is families who flock to Malaga every year as they know they are sure to receive a wonderful welcome and find resorts where facilities, accommodation, dining options and evening entertainment is exceptionally family-friendly. 

 

As part of your cheap family holiday to Malaga this year, you could catch a cheap flight with bmibaby, Ryanair, Jet2, First Choice, FlyMonarch, Thomsonfly, Excel, Thomas Cook or EasyJet. Getting there is easy, too: you can fly to Malaga from Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick, Manchester, Liverpool, Luton and Birmingham (and many other UK airports). Use our convenient directline-flights search to find the latest Malaga flight offers and the best last-minute flights to Malaga.

 

Look first for cheap flights from budget, no-frills airlines (they’ll always have the little gems; the lowest-cost flights available to buy at ‘give away’ prices.)

 

Book well in advance, if you can. In fact, the earlier you book, the better. Cheap flights to Spain are generally snapped up within days or even hours of being advertised, so by booking weeks (or months) before your planned holiday departure date, you can get in first and bag the very cheapest flights.

 

If you are set on finding a cheap flight to Spain departing on a Saturday or Sunday, then booking a cheap flight that leaves very early in the morning or very late at night will definitely help to bring the price right down. OK, you might have to set the alarm clock for when the cock crows, but imagine the spending money you’ll have at your chosen Spanish holiday resort as a result of making the effort to get up extra early on departure day.

 

Sign up for e-mail and mobile alerts from budget airlines (the cheapest flights to Spain are often advertised that way first).

 

Don’t just focus upon finding cheap weekend flights to Spain; so many of the lowest-cost flights depart during the week: buy a cheap Tuesday afternoon flight to Malaga; a low-cost flight to Seville departing on a Wednesday morning, or a bargain flight to Barcelona leaving around Thursday teatime (getting you there in time to enjoy a delicious meal at the Ca l'Isidre restaurant, where the Catalan cooking is superb).

 

Rather than buying stand-alone flights, consider opting for cheap flights to Spain as part of a cheap package holiday. Get cheap flights, cheap accommodation, and even cheap car hire all bundled up into one insanely cheap package price.
