Cheap Flights from Newcastle to Alicante

Summer is the expensive stretch on this route: the school holidays pull fares up and planes fill fast, so book well ahead if July or August is fixed. Work back from there and October stands out as the cheapest month, with November and the winter months also often kinder to the wallet. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and Saturday, and Alicante's mild off-season weather makes a shoulder-month trip perfectly workable.

Ryanair, Jet2 and Easyjet are the low-cost names to compare first, with direct flights and fares that usually cover little beyond a small cabin bag. TUI Airways also flies the route from Newcastle. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines connects through its hub, with Loganair Limited, Emerald Airlines, Aer Lingus, EasyJet Europe and Norwegian International appearing in the wider mix. On the budget carriers, a checked bag, seat choice and food are extras you add yourself, so weigh them in before judging a fare.

Alicante airport is a mid-sized single-terminal airport, which keeps arrivals simple: no long walks between halls and a short wait for bags most of the day. It sits a drive outside the city centre, reached by local bus, shuttle services or taxi, with hire car desks in the terminal if you are heading along the coast. Allow a little extra time in high summer, when holiday traffic slows the road into town.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your ticket departs from Newcastle airport, the city's only terminal, and note the exact carrier selling each fare.
• Compare baggage rules on Ryanair, Jet2 and Easyjet, since a checked suitcase can change the picture on low-cost fares.
• If you book two one-way tickets rather than a return, leave enough room between them in case one is delayed.
• Confirm your passport meets the entry rules for Spain before paying.
• Watch the month: October is where this route is usually cheapest, while summer dates climb early.
• Look at the time of day too, since direct flights here leave at differing hours and the last bus into Alicante has its limits.
