Santander SDR
Cheap flights from Santander start at Santander Airport, the only airport listed for the city in Spain, with routes to Milan, Birmingham, Madrid, Sevilla, Tirana, Marrakech, Charleroi and Paris. Those destinations span short European city breaks and longer journeys, so the right ticket depends on dates, baggage and whether a connection is involved. Airlines differ by route, and what a fare includes is not the same across carriers, so check the fare rules before you book.

Getting to the city
The fastest way into Santander is usually a taxi or a pre-booked car from the terminal, especially with luggage or a late arrival. Public transport can cost less but needs checking against your flight time, since frequencies and last departures are not guaranteed. Avoid assuming a bus or shuttle will be waiting after a delayed flight, and confirm the return plan to the airport before you leave the city.
