Cheap Flights from Alicante to Abu Dhabi Starting at $111

Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) is the region’s primary international gateway, serving a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers—Ryanair, Vueling and several charter airlines are commonly found alongside seasonal services. It’s often perceived as budget-friendly compared with larger Spanish hubs, particularly for leisure routes. The airport lies about 9–11 km southwest of Alicante city centre; a tram or bus typically takes 20–30 minutes and costs a few euros, while taxis take around 15–20 minutes depending on traffic and can be notably more expensive. Pros: compact layout and quick transfers for holidaymakers; cons: can be busy and have limited late-night public transport options outside peak season.

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and typically serves as a hub for full-service carriers as well as Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways; it can handle a mix of premium and connecting traffic alongside some low-cost services. The airport lies about 30–40 km from downtown Abu Dhabi, with taxi rides usually taking 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly AED 70–120; public buses connect the airport to the city in about 45–60 minutes for a low fare. For budget travelers, Al Bateen Executive Airport mainly handles private and business aviation rather than scheduled commercial flights. AUH’s strengths are modern terminals and good international connections; potential downsides can include distance to the city center and occasional peak-time queues.
