Alicante is one of the most consistently popular destinations from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, with flights operating year-round to the Costa Blanca's principal gateway. The city and its surrounding coastline attract a wide range of travellers — families seeking reliable sunshine, couples on city breaks, golfers, retirees and groups of friends heading to the resorts of Benidorm, Torrevieja and Calpe.
About Alicante
Alicante (Alacant in Valencian) is a vibrant port city on Spain's south-eastern coast, sitting at the heart of the Costa Blanca. The city itself is worth exploring: the hilltop Castillo de Santa Bárbara offers panoramic views over the Mediterranean, the Explanada de España promenade is lined with palm trees and pavement cafés, and the old quarter of El Barrio has a lively restaurant and bar scene.
Beyond the city, the Costa Blanca stretches north and south with a varied coastline. Benidorm, around 40 kilometres north, is one of Europe's most famous resort towns — high-rise hotels, long sandy beaches and a nightlife scene that runs year-round. Further north, Altea and Calpe are quieter and more characterful. To the south, Torrevieja and the Orihuela Costa offer a more relaxed pace.
Why people fly to Alicante
The Costa Blanca enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine per year, with mild winters that make it a popular destination even outside the main summer season. The combination of reliable weather, affordable accommodation and a wide range of activities — beaches, golf, cycling, hiking in the Sierra Helada — makes Alicante one of the most versatile Spanish destinations.
Alicante Airport (ALC) is one of Spain's busiest airports, located just 9 kilometres from the city centre. It handles a large volume of UK charter and scheduled traffic throughout the year.
