Despite its relatively small size, it is directly connected to many cities of Europe. In addition, it is indirectly connected with the rest of the world by flights from Madrid or Barcelona. In 2008, almost 10 millions travelers arrived to Costa Blanca or the La Manga resorts through the airport of Alicante. Around 80% of all the visitors come from abroad. Most of the tourists are from UK, Germany, France, Holland and other European countries. Such a high number of passengers is no wonder. Apart from city of Alicante, our airport serves as a traffic hub for other attractive holidays destinations in Alicante province. Perhaps, this year, you will spend your vacation in Benidorm, Torrevieja, Denia or Calpe.

Contrary to some rare negative opinions about Alicante airport that could appear on the Web, I have never had any bad experience. My luggage always arrived; it was never lost nor damaged. Whether taking a short trip towards Palma or Madrid or coming from far away cities such as London, neither my friends nor I had any problems. However, if it happens that your luggage is missing, you should not panic. The airport staff is there to help. You have to fill in the form and follow the standard procedure. In the worst case, you will get a survival package, containing everything to cover your basic daily needs. The lost luggage should normally be found within 24 hours.
