Cheap flights from Nottingham to Valencia

Summer is the stretch to avoid if you want a bargain: school holidays, Spanish beach season and full planes push fares up from June onwards. Work backwards from there and November comes out as the cheapest month on the route, with October, December, February, March and April also listing prices worth a look. Book early for Christmas and Easter dates; they move fast. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and Saturday getaways.

Start with what the fare includes. Ryanair and Jet2 sell low-cost tickets, so the base price covers the flight itself and extras like checked bags, seat selection and priority boarding appear at the next step. Jet2's fares typically bundle a baggage allowance; Ryanair's cheapest ones do not, so price the total, not the headline. Aer Lingus operates connecting itineraries via Dublin, which adds travel time but can suit travellers with more luggage. All three sell through the same search, so line up the full cost before choosing.

Getting into town is straightforward. Valencia Airport sits a short metro or bus ride from the centre, and the journey feels more like a suburban hop than a long transfer. The metro links the terminal directly with the city, and buses run too, so pick whichever stop is closest to your accommodation. Taxis and ride apps are available outside arrivals if you land late. Check the terminal your flight uses before you head for the exit.
