Summer and winter flights

Flight details checked October 2026.

The winter timetable runs from 25 October 2026 to late March 2027. Ryanair’s own timetable shows its flights to Alicante, Malaga, Tenerife, Barcelona and Madrid running through the winter from every UK airport it flies from. Its Palma flights from Luton, Edinburgh and Bristol stop for the winter, as do Luton’s flights to Lanzarote and Gran Canaria and Birmingham’s to Gran Canaria.

From Heathrow, British Airways flies to Malaga, Tenerife, Barcelona and Madrid through the winter, with Vueling to Barcelona and Iberia to Madrid. British Airways’ Palma flights thin out in November and do not run in February. For other airlines, we confirm winter flights when we quote.

Direct or with one stop

Flight details checked October 2026.

Direct

A direct flight takes you there on one plane, with no stops.

With one stop

If there is no direct flight from your UK airport to the place you want, or none on your dates, we can price flights that change planes on the way, which take longer, or a direct flight from another UK airport.

Tell us your dates and we will price each option, so you can weigh the fare against the time.

Before you fly

Passport

Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before the day you arrive, and must be valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area.

Visa

Spain is in the Schengen area. On a British citizen passport you can visit without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180 day period. The 90 days count across all Schengen countries, including any visits in the 180 days before this trip.

Entry/Exit System (EES)

The EU’s Entry/Exit System started on 12 October 2025. On a UK passport, you may be asked to register your fingerprints and a photo at the border when you arrive. It is free, there is nothing to do before you travel, and the record lasts 3 years. GOV.UK’s EES guide has the details.

ETIAS

GOV.UK says the EU is expected to start ETIAS, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, from autumn 2026, and that no action is required from travellers at this point. The EU will announce the start date first, and GOV.UK says any website selling ETIAS now is fraudulent.

At the border

Border officers may ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of travel insurance, enough money for your stay, and a hotel booking or proof of address. If you stay with family or friends, you may be asked for an invitation letter (carta de invitación) from your hosts.

Travel advice

Read the FCDO travel advice for Spain before you book. In parts of Magaluf and Playa de Palma on Mallorca, and San Antonio on Ibiza, local rules ban happy hours, open bars and all you can drink offers. The advice changes, so read it again before you fly.
