Flights to Spain

Routes we track to Spain

We track London to Malaga, with nonstop flights from Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling and Wizz Air. This page shows this month's lowest fares for that route on the live fare calendar. Spain is 1 hour ahead of the UK all year, which is worth knowing when you plan arrival times and onward travel.

The route list grows as we add more coverage. For now, London to Malaga is the route to watch if you want nonstop options. The airlines above all fly it nonstop, so you can compare timings and pick what suits your trip.

Some low cost options appear only inside self transfer routes. That means you book separate tickets for each leg. If a first flight is delayed, the second ticket is not protected, so allow plenty of time between legs and travel with hand luggage where possible.

3. Check the nonstop airlines listed above for times that fit your plans.

5. Book when the fare and the dates both work for you.

When fares to Spain are lowest

Fares to Spain are usually lowest outside the busy weeks listed below. The live fare calendar on this page shows this month's lowest fares for London to Malaga, so start there. Midweek departures and dates away from UK school holidays tend to sit lower than peak weekends and half terms.

Use the calendar as a guide rather than a rule. It shows this month's lowest fares, and it updates as fares move. If your dates are flexible, compare a few weeks before you commit.

Second home owners often travel outside peak weeks, which helps. If you must fly in a busy week, book earlier and watch the alert for changes.

Festivals and busy weeks

Demand rises around Easter and Semana Santa, UK half terms, UK school summer holidays, and Christmas and New Year. These are the weeks to plan around if you want lower fares and more choice. Book early if your trip must fall in one of them, and expect less flexibility on dates.

Semana Santa is a major event in Spain and pulls in visitors, so flights around Easter fill up. UK half terms and the UK school summer holidays bring family travel, which pushes fares up on popular dates.

Christmas and New Year are busy too. If you are visiting a second home over the holidays, set an alert early and be ready to book when a fare suits you. The fare calendar shows this month's lowest fares, which helps you spot quieter dates.

Arriving in Spain: phone, data and entry

Spain is 1 hour ahead of the UK all year, so set your phone to local time on landing. Mobile networks include Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo, with coverage up to 5G. For entry, check the official rules for your passport before you fly.

If you want data on arrival, a travel eSIM or a mobile top up is a simple way to stay connected. Coverage is up to 5G on the networks listed, so check your device supports the network before you buy.

Before you fly, confirm the entry rules that apply to your passport. Rules can change, so check the official guidance close to your travel date. Keep your documents to hand at the airport.
