Hi has anyone flown into Alicante airport from Gatwick, with Ryanair, in the last couple of days and did you have any problems?

Hi Philip,

Shouldn't be any problem, so long as you've completed the Spanish healthcare form required on arrival. If you're planning to travel on or after 23rd November, you'll also need a negative PCR test for Covid-19, taken no more than 72 hours before your departure date.

There are also regional curfews, in the C.Valenciana region, this is currently 12 midnight to 6am, so if your arrival time at Alicante means you'll be travelling during curfew, it's best to get a taxi from the airport, as taxi drivers are still allowed to work during this time period.

Kind regards,

Kim

Thank you so much Kimmy11 this is very helpful - fortunately we are flying on the 20th so that shouldn’t be a problem and we will definitely get a taxi. Thanks again
