Airlines at Valencia’s Airport

After being stranded in Western Ireland for more than a year, having a city airport like Manises (location) is extremely exciting. It’s the most easily-accessible airport I’ve ever been to… for a €1.80 fare on the subway (take the red or green line), I can be from my house to check-in within 25 minutes. Another great thing about Manises is that they offer free Wi-Fi. I expect we’ll often be making use of Manises, so have done some research on airlines that fly in and out of Valencia:

Discount Airlines

The only way to go for quick weekend trips! Ordered here by how useful I figure they’ll be to us.

Ryan Air - The undisputed king of discount flying. From Valencia, they fly to a lot of locations covering most of Western Europe: Portugal, Ireland, England, Denmark, Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and 4 cities in Italy.

Vueling ES - This company is new to me, and is based out of Barcelona. Their fares are low and from Valencia, they fly to Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Milan & Sevilla.

airberlin - Obviously, they fly to our old hometown of Berlin, as well as a lot of other destinations all over the German-speaking countries. They also serve some spots in Spain, such as Palma, as well as Copenhagen, Milan, Amsterdam and Lisbon.

Wizz Air Hungary - The only discount airline I could find that frequently flies to Eastern Europe: Bucharest, Transylvania, Sofia and also Milan.

Air Europa - They fly to a few vacation spots within Spain, as well as Paris.

EasyJet - I’m really disappointed with EasyJet’s presence in Valencia — they only serve London & Bristol.

Lagunair - Two spots in Spain: León and Valladolid.

Transavia - Just Amsterdam.

TUIfly - Only flies directly to Germany (Memmingen, Stuttgart, Köln/Bonn and Hannover). Maybe worth looking into booking a connecting flight from Köln/Bonn since from there they fly to most destinations in Europe.

Major/National Carriers

In addition to the discount airlines, there are a lot of flights from the more well-known national carriers, especially Iberia. The other airlines I noticed which fly from Valencia are Air France, Alitalia, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa and Spanair. The prices with these airlines aren’t necessarily much higher — I found a one-way flight to Pamplona for less than €50 with Iberia. Are there any airlines or routes I’ve missed?
