Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport

This airport is one of the best smaller airports in Europe in my opinion. It’s extremely child friendly. There are playground in departure and arrival. In departure hall, there is one near gate C39 and B25. In arrival hall, look to your right after the immigration check point. The facilities are well maintained. There are ample seats with charging points, and they are all working, way better than Gatwick north terminal and Stansted. Staff is so friendly. There are priority lanes for families. They are very efficient. There are also many shops before checking in and after. I saw multiple Burger Kings, Pret and different sandwich shop and cafes. Very smooth and good experience flying in and out here.

Located outside of Alicante, it's well connected to the city and popular sea resorts thanks to various transportation options, including coaches to Calpe, Altea, Benissa, Murcia. For a second-tier airport, the terminal displays an impressive, short of pompous, architecture of steel and glass. The building stands really tall indeed. Inside, the layout is basic and efficient. Major European low-cost carriers have desks and check-in counters. I went through the security formalities in less than 15 minutes despite the long waiting line. They are a handful of F&B options such as Tim Horton, Burger King and Starbucks. Access to toilets is free of charge.

Alicante Airport Alicante Airport is a modern and well-organized airport that makes a great impression from the moment you enter. The terminal is spacious, clean, and clearly marked, making navigating it intuitive even for first-time travelers. Security checks are efficient, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A major advantage of the airport is its wide selection of shops and restaurants, allowing you to enjoy your time before your flight. Its convenient location and easy access make Alicante Airport very convenient for passengers. It is a modern showcase for Alicante and one of the best airports in Spain.

Considering the amount of people that transit through this airport, you would think they would have more restaurants and more airport lounges available. Needs expansion and definitely more amenities. Security control is quick and efficient. Although, not the greatest airport as far as amenities, still has great direct connections to most of the EU. Flew to Venice and Lisbon on direct flights with Ryan Air an Vueling as well as to Barcelona and very inexpensive. Great hub to fly out of as far as flights and prices.

As you might expect from a great airport. Check-in all went smoothly and efficient. Sadly i bought a Coca-Cola at one of the first tax-free shops for €4,75 and the next shop sold them for €3 euros so I felt scammed for that. Furthermore fine Airport!

I like this airport, far better than Malaga for instance. Passport machines work on arrival (but not departure?) Security is very brisk, toilets are nice and clean, the shops and restaurants are good and it doesn't feel crowded. There was even little booths throughout, puting makep on children for Halloween plus stations to charge phone for fee. Car rental is well conceived and access is simple in and out.

Amazing big airport I ever visited went from Alicante to East Midlands only went 4 nights and 1 day and I would come back also some pics when I landed at night and take off during day

A bit of a mixed bag. Arrival via an air bridge is good (not buses) and the passport check was pretty quick and efficient. Unfortunately on trying to get into the centre of Alicante I quickly discovered the public transport is completely inadequate. For some reason the bus stop for the buses into Alicante is the furthest from the terminal, but on getting there, there was a massive queue. I did not get onto the first bus or the second bus and due to the numbers waiting the buses are badly overcrowded and uncomfortable with every available space full of passengers or their luggage and so you get people bumping into you every time the bus goes round a corner or stops. A single deck bus every 20 minutes is nothing like enough for the number of people that are trying to use it. As a result I had to book a taxi for the return journey as flights don't wait and I couldn't risk not being able to get on the overcrowded buses and getting delayed. It feels the airport has spent a lot of money on a new terminal with lots of space but neglected the links into the city centre. On the return journey the terminal is very good. Security was quick as was the passport check and there is a good range of places to eat and drink and plenty of seats and it is all kept clean. However my return flight was delayed over an hour which the pilot attributed to ground handling delays as it took so long for them to load luggage we missed our slot, causing a delay of over an hour. It seems a lot of money has been spent upgrading the terminal for the numbers that are using it, but not enough spent on supporting services like public transport links and ground handling staff.
