Airport information
Getting to know Alicante-Elche Airport
Officially Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport, ALC is the main international gateway to the Costa Blanca, and one of the busiest airports in Spain outside Madrid and Barcelona. Here is what to expect when you land.
One modern terminal
Almost all passenger operations run through a single building, Terminal N, so there is no need to worry about switching terminals for arrivals or connections.
Arrivals and departures
The terminal is arranged over two main levels, with arrivals on the lower level and departures above, along with check-in, shops and restaurants.
Facilities on site
Shops, cafes and restaurants, duty free, Wi-Fi and charging points, car rental desks, and a tourist information point are all available in the terminal.
A seasonal, family heavy airport
Alicante Airport handles a large amount of seasonal leisure traffic, with plenty of families and low cost carriers, especially in the summer months.
Arriving for a flight
As general guidance, allow around 2 hours before a domestic or short European flight, and closer to 3 hours during busy summer periods.
Beyond the airport
Alicante also has a RENFE train station in the city, useful if part of your journey involves rail travel rather than flying.
