Flights Eindhoven to Alicante

Which airlines fly from Eindhoven to Alicante?

Ryanair is the main carrier on the Eindhoven (EIN) to Alicante (ALC) route. Ryanair typically flies 4 to 5 times per week in summer (April to October) and 2 to 3 times per week in winter (November to March). Flights often depart early in the morning (06:00 to 07:30) or around midday. Departure times vary by schedule; always check the latest times on Ryanair's website or a comparison site.

Transavia also flies Eindhoven to Alicante, mainly in the summer programme (May to October). Transavia typically has a more generous baggage allowance than Ryanair and does not charge extra for payment by Mastercard.

When are the cheapest flights?

The cheapest time to fly from Eindhoven to Alicante is November to mid-February. During this period there are few school holidays and demand from the south of the Netherlands is limited. Tickets can be found for 30 to 50 euro per person one-way when booked early.

May and early June are the best value months: the summer programme has started, the weather in Alicante is already excellent (24 to 28 degrees, little rain), but the holiday rush has not yet begun. Tickets cost about 50 to 90 euro one-way.

• Cheapest months: November, January, February. Return about 60 to 120 euro.
• Best value: May and early June. Return about 90 to 160 euro.
• Most expensive period: mid-July to late August (summer holiday peak). Return about 150 to 350 euro.
• Booking strategy: book midweek flights (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday); Friday and Saturday are 20 to 40 percent more expensive. Book at least 6 to 8 weeks in advance; the lowest Ryanair fares sell out fast.
• Watch for extras: Ryanair charges about 6 to 35 euro extra per segment for larger cabin bags (10 kg). Check baggage rules before buying; that cheap ticket can quickly get more expensive with add-ons.

Alternatives to Eindhoven Airport

Living in the Eindhoven region but Eindhoven Airport can't serve your preferred date? Consider:

• Weeze Airport (NRN) About 40 kilometres from Eindhoven, just across the border in Germany. Ryanair also flies from Weeze to Alicante; sometimes cheaper than Eindhoven Airport. Drive time about 35 to 40 minutes. Good option if you want a larger, cheaper car park.
• Brussels-Charleroi (CRL) About 130 kilometres from Eindhoven (about 1 hour 20 minutes by car). Ryanair also flies from Charleroi to Alicante, sometimes with better times or lower fares. Weigh the extra travel time against the price difference.
• Dusseldorf Airport (DUS) About 130 kilometres from Eindhoven (about 1 hour 15 minutes). Eurowings and sometimes Condor fly to Alicante; useful if you want more generous baggage allowance or more winter charter options.
• Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) Transavia flies daily from Schiphol to Alicante. Handy if you live on the Randstad side or want to connect to a KLM ticket with baggage included. Travel time from Eindhoven about 1 hour 30 minutes by car or train.

Getting from Alicante Airport to your destination

Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is about 9 kilometres south-west of Alicante city centre. Transport options:

• Train C1 (RENFE Cercanias) The cheapest option: about 1.45 euro per trip; 25 minutes to Alicante city centre (Alicante Termino station). Ideal if you're heading straight to Alicante city. The train doesn't run late at night (last service about 22:30). The stop is below terminal 1.
• Bus line 50 Cheap alternative: about 1.70 euro; about 35 minutes to Alicante. Stops at the "El Campello" bus stop en route if you're heading to Benidorm or Calpe.
