We have had plenty of experience travelling to other countries and we know only too well how disorientating airports can be when you collect you luggage and make your way into the arrivals hall and so we are writing this with you in mind and hope it proves helpful.

Alicante airport is 60 km from Benidorm although its not really as far as it sounds as the two are joined directly by a motorway and its only a 30 - 50 minuite direct trip depending on traffic. Below is various information on Alicante airport and how to get from the airport to Benidorm itself. There is no train station connected to Alicante airport so basically your options are airport bus transfer, regular bus services, taxi or car hire.

Alicante is the nearest airport approximately 60 Km's from Benidorm and is a two hour flight from most UK airports. It is a relatively small airport with only one terminal and basic airport facilities - car hire, bureaux de change,shop, pharmacy, post office and bar/restaurant. It certainly is not the sort of airport you would want to have a long delay in, ok no airport is, but this one unless you make it into departures it is very minimalist. Even if you want to go for a wander Alicante itself is 11 km's away. The departure lounge has a small duty free, Burger King and other restaurants, a few shops and a bar. Speaking of delays I once spent 13 hours in that airport due to torrential rain and it was the fact that we had already checked in and made it through to departures that saved us from dementia. The bar served us all day until 3 am, never refused us a drink and no problem getting on the plane and I dare say at some UK airports we would not have made it.
