Cheap Flights from Glasgow to Alicante

Booking a few months ahead tends to pay off, and the calendar on this page shows how fares move from October to September. December is the cheapest month on this route, which makes winter a good window if your dates are flexible.Expect fares to climb towards the destination's summer and around school holidays, when families from both cities fill the planes. Midweek departures are often calmer than weekend ones, so it is worth comparing a few days either side of your target date before you book.

Ryanair and Jet2 carry most of the traffic on this route, both low-cost, with the fare covering little beyond your seat and a small cabin bag unless you add extras. Easyjet and EasyJet Europe sit in the same camp, as do TUI Airways and Norwegian International, with Norwegian also appearing under its shorter name.BA CityFlyer and Aer Lingus offer the fuller-service end of the list, and KLM Cityhopper connects through a hub if a nonstop departure does not fit your day. What is included differs noticeably between the low-cost carriers and the rest, so weigh baggage against the base fare before choosing.

You land at Alicante airport, which sits some distance from the city centre along the coast. Buses run into town and connect with the main rail and tram points, and taxis or pre-booked transfers cover the rest.Watch for queues at the car hire desks in high season, and note that the terminal gets busy when several of the low-cost arrivals land close together.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Glasgow has a single international airport for this route, so confirm your departure terminal when you book.
• Check the baggage allowance on low-cost carriers like Ryanair, Jet2 and Easyjet before you pay, since cabin bags are often an extra.
• Make sure your passport meets Spain's entry requirements and check whether any documents are needed for your stay.
• If you book a connecting option such as KLM Cityhopper or Aer Lingus on separate tickets, confirm the connection time is long enough.
• Compare December fares against the summer months, since the cheapest month is not the one most people assume.
