When to go

  • Best months: April to June, and September to October
  • Cheapest months: November to February
  • Avoid: Mid-August, when the Spanish coast is at capacity

Before you book

  • Low-cost carriers sell the seat and charge for the bag. With a 20 kg case at £25–£45 each way, the total is rarely the fare you first saw.
  • Landing after 22:00? Sort the transfer in advance; buses thin out and the taxi rank carries the markup.
  • Package protection is not automatic. Separate bookings mean separate protection: check what ATOL cover each seller actually gives you.
