Low cost airlines in Spain

Do you dream of a trip to Spain? This article will help you get to the country of your dreams cheaply. In the market of air transportation there are both eminent companies, famous for their high level of service (for which it is necessary to pay extra), and budget firms offering their services for very, very affordable prices. These latter are also called low-costers. Often such budget airlines are an independent and independent legal entity. But sometimes it also happens that a well-known company opens a subsidiary, operating as a low-coster. An example is Lufthansa. A German respected firm has a "daughter" named Eurovings. And in this article we will consider the question: which airlines fly to Spain? We will advise how to get to the Iberian Peninsula cheaper and with fewer transplants.

Direct flight

Of course, if you want to get to the place quickly, you need a direct flight. But do any airlines fly to Spain from Moscow? Yes, and there are many of them. If we talk about Russian companies, we can not fail to mention such a leader of domestic civil aviation as Aeroflot. On board its liners you can reach Madrid, Alicante and Barcelona. From "Aeroflot" do not lag behind other Russian airlines. You can always choose a company to travel directly to the cities of Spain. So, "Transaero" flies to Madrid, Barcelona, Tenerife, Malaga, Ibiza, Alicante. In the cities of Spain, as well, liners of such companies of the Russian Federation, as "Ural Airlines", "Russia", "Siberia", "VIM Aelaynez". But which of these firms can be called loukosterami? Unfortunately, the budget segment of air travel in Russia is not yet sufficiently developed. The only domestic loukoster, performing direct flights in the direction Moscow - Spain, - the airline "Victory". It is a subsidiary of Aeroflot. From the capital of Russia in the direction of interest to us, the liners are sent from Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports.

Direct flights. Other airlines flying to Spain from Russia

From the second half of spring to the end of September, the choice of carriers from the traveler increases. After all, in the warm season not only from Moscow, but also from other cities of Russia to the resorts of the Iberian peninsula are the liners of Spanish airlines. And the first one to mention is "Air Europe". This is the third largest airline in Spain. "Air Europe" delivers its passengers to Barcelona from Moscow, Mineralnye Vody, Ufa, Ekaterinburg, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, Krasnodar, Perm, Belgorod and Rostov-on-Don. And "number one" in the sky of Spain is the airline "Iberia". The geography of its flights, including from Russia, is very wide. On board the Iberia liners from Moscow you can reach Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Santiago de Compostela, Sevilla, Alicante, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia. And with a transfer in the Spanish capital, you can travel around the world. The liners of the company make transatlantic flights, reaching New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Salvador, Mexico, Havana, Panama, Puerto Rico, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Rio de Janeiro and other cities of the New World.

Low cost airlines in Spain. Vueling

The view that traveling with low-costers is dangerous is a myth. Yes, airliners go back and forth in the mode of airbuses, but the machines making the flight are reliable and reliable, and the flight crew is experienced. Of course, the quality of servicing passengers on board is lower than in expensive airlines. They do not feed there, and the requirements for the weight of luggage in loukosterov are tougher. But the Spanish airline "Vueling" is considered one of the best in terms of quality of service among European budget carriers. The average age of her air fleet is six and a half years. "Vueling" sends its liners from the base airport - Barcelona - in 165 directions. You can fly to the capital of Catalonia from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Samara, Kaliningrad and Krasnodar. With "Vouveling" it is easy to make travel even cheaper. The airline is one of the few loukosterov that offer their customers to "accumulate bonus points," which can then be exchanged for a ticket.

Volotea

Volotea was founded in 2012 as a regional carrier. However very soon she began to make regular flights on a budgetary basis and outside of Spain. At the moment, "Volotea" carries out flights in seventy-two directions. But, unfortunately, Russia does not belong to them. But on board this budget airline in Spain you can sit in Moldova. The Volotea liners connect the base hub, Barcelona, with Malta, Albania, Israel, Germany, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Greece and Croatia.

Iberia Express

Already on one name of the company it is clear that this loukoster is a subsidiary of such eminent airline of Spain as "Iberia". Together with "Mom", he is based in Madrid Barajas airport. After the global economic crisis, air carriers left the market. And by 2010 they were very popular with travelers. Therefore, Iberia opened a budget office. "Iberia Express" began to fly from 2012. At first it was cheap flights within the country. Gradually the geography of flights of the loukoster expanded. Now the company "Iberia Express" carries out regular flights to Amsterdam, Reykjavik, Athens, Paris, Lyon, Berlin, Stuttgart, Hanover, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen and Dublin. In Russia (Moscow and St. Petersburg), its liners carry out only charter season flights.

Other low cost flights to Spain

From Russia to the Iberian Peninsula can be reached and with transfers. You simply need to combine your own travel map to make it cheaper and as short as possible. We have already considered the airlines of Spain flying to the country from Russia. But they do not exhaust the list of European loukosterov . You can make a flight plan with a transfer in Germany or Austria. In this case, it is necessary to use the services of budget airlines such as "Jemann Wings", "Air Berlin", "WizzAir". Irish low-cost RyanAir offers docking ports in many countries of Europe. It makes sense first to get out of Russia to Riga or Tallinn. From there flyers of another cheap airline fly out to Spain - the Baltic Air.

Advice to passengers of low-costers

Budget carriers are trying to squeeze out excess money from their customers by imposing stringent rates on luggage. The charge for preponderance really bites and can sometimes be higher than the price of the air ticket. Lowcosters are often late, as for service airports such companies are of secondary importance, and on the runway first regular flights are missed. If you travel with a transfer, but with one airline in Spain, such a delay will not be critical for you. But if you entrusted your trip to different loukosterov (for example, "Baltik Air" and "Geman Wings"), you need to lay a large pocket between connecting flights. In case of delay, the money for the ticket purchased from the loukoster will not be refunded.
