Spain is a popular tourist destination and airlines are frequently introducing cheap flights to Spain and its holiday islands, the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands.
May, June and September are the best months for visiting Spain, and in the south April and October are also good months. Avoid July and August and you will also miss the crowds.
The height of the tourist season is July and August so this is when flight prices will be higher. Early summer and autumn are also popular times. Spain is very popular with families so if you can avoid half terms and school holidays this could be to your advantage. November to February can be cold and rainy and Spain does get its share of snow.
With Spain being a very popular destination there are plenty of online sites that offer cheap flights to Spain. Don’t use just one travel website, rather look at several such as expedia.co.uk, travelsupermarket.com, skyscanner.net and others.
EasyJet, JetAir and Ryanair are all budget airlines that offer cheap flights to Spain. These airlines keep prices low by only offering deals on their own website rather than on travel websites. You may find that it is cheaper to fly to a smaller airport rather than one in a main city. For example if you are flying to Barcelona booking a flight to Girona Airport rather than Barcelona International is cheaper.
You need to book well in advance to get the best cheap flights to Spain. Travelling midweek rather than at weekends will also lower the price. Similarly taking an early morning or late night flight will be cheaper. Budget airlines do not give refunds, although with some airlines re-scheduling is possible. It is therefore important to check all the terms and conditions before booking, including their luggage allowances.
