Flights to Spain
Different ways to buy your flights to Spain on line, and SAVE
Flights to Spain have never been cheaper.
Make the most of cheap flights while they last. In 1968 I paid just over £36 for a "mid-week-night-tourist return" flight with BEA from London to Alicante. In today's money that would be £325.44. Today you can buy a return flight from Gatwick to Alicante for just £50,76*
40 years ago I had to go to the travel agent who arranged the flight for me. I had to hang around and wait while they found the flight, then book it, and then I had go back days later to collect the ticket. Today you don't have to go further than this page.

The following are links to just a few of the "on-line" brokers who offer a huge selection of flights, at amazingly cheap prices. It is always worth checking out the brokers and comparing them with the airline itself. Very often, booking through the broker is the cheaper option.

Why use a flight broker? |
Most of the available flights will be there for you to see and compare on one page. You don't have to go from site to site making notes as you go. Flight brokers are keen to get your business, so offer the best possible prices. They often share their commission with you. |

Which is the best flight broker? |
This is the "piece of string" question. We all have our favourites, and in general no one broker is any better than another. |

How can flight brokers be cheaper than the airline itself? |
Flight brokers work on volume and are paid by the airline for their efforts. The airline want the same prices to be shown all over the internet, so the brokers quote the airline price, then offer part of their commission as a special discount. |
