Exeter Airport is celebrating the start of Ryanair’s first flights from Exeter to Alicante in Spain, which start today [October 29].
Seats on the twice-weekly service start from just €29.99 and passengers can book their flights up to a year in advance. Alicante is a hugely popular Mediterranean port city on Spain’s Costa Blanca, and gateway to some of Spain’s most popular holiday resorts.

“To celebrate, we are releasing seats for sale from just €29.99, for travel from now until March. These seats must be booked by midnight Thursday (31 Oct), only on the Ryanair.com website.

Exeter Airport managing director Matt Roach said: “We’re delighted to see Ryanair adding Alicante to its year-round destinations from Exeter, which already include Malaga and Malta. It means customers continue to have a great choice of popular and affordable sunshine destinations from their local airport.”
Ryanair’s flights from Exeter to Alicante operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
The boost in passenger numbers has seen Exeter Airport owners Rigby Group plc invest £1 million in new terminal facilities over the summer. The airport now serves more than 35 destinations across the UK and Europe and has seen seven successive years of passenger growth.
