Cheap flights from Cardiff to Alicante from £42

When ready to leave Cardiff for the sunny port of Alicante in Spain, you will leave from the busiest airport in Wales, namely Cardiff Airport (CWL). Due to the European proximity and availability of road travel between the two cities, there are additional flight and train combos, but when it comes to flight-only trips, Cardiff Airport will be the destination you leave from. Based approximately 15 miles from Cardiff city central, it is easy to reach via various public transportation methods that include the T9 Cardiff Airport Express Bus, taxis, and Uber. When you land at Alicante-Elche Airport (ELC) you will be based seven miles from the city centre. From here you can hop on the C-9 Bus Line directly from the airport into town. There are no trains from the airport so your alternative choice would be taxi, Uber or car hire.
