Return flights to Alicante in October can be a cheap way into Spain’s Costa Blanca, especially from London, Bristol, Bournemouth or Manchester. These routes typically compete with other short-haul sun breaks like Malaga and Palma, but Alicante often works out better value once you factor in flight times and frequent departures. The fare shown includes one under seat bag, so it suits travellers who can pack light and want to keep costs predictable.

Who is this for?

Best for a long weekend or a quick week away if you’re happy with low cost airline rules. Ryanair and easyJet can be mixed and matched, which helps if you want a better outbound time and a different return, but it also means checking baggage and seat policies per leg.

  • One under seat bag included, fine for minimalist packing, less so for bulkier items or souvenirs.
  • Multiple departure airports, useful if you can be flexible on where you fly from and which days you travel.
