Good value, direct flights to the Basque city's airport, from Frankfurt (Germany), Brussels (Belgium), Paris (France), Milan (Italy), Lisbon (Portugal) and London (UK)
Bilbao is one of Spain’s greatest success stories. Formerly an industrial wasteland, it has been regenerated into a thriving, exciting city that draws tourists in from across Europe. The star attraction is the wonderful Guggenheim museum, which is as revered for its eccentric architecture as its exhibitions and collections.
But it’s all very well knowing what you can see there. What is the best way to get there, though? Many airlines, some offering great deals and bargains, fly into Bilbao from cities all across Europe. These include:
Lufthansa offers flights to Bilbao from Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Dusseldorf in Germany.
SN Brussels Airlines offers flights to Bilbao from Brussels in Belgium.
Air France offers flights to Bilbao from Paris Charles De Gaulle in France
Alitalia offers flights to Bilbao from Milan Malpensa in Italy.
Portugalia and Air Nostrum L.A. Mediterraneo offer flights to Bilbao from Lisbon, Portugal.
Iberia offers flights to Bilbao from London Heathrow in England.
Easyjet offers flights to Bilbao from London Stansted in England.
Not all of these fly every day, but they do have a regular service. It is always worth shopping around to see what sort of deal you can get, as the prices can vary dramatically depending on when you book, what time of day you plan to travel and what airport you wish to fly from. You should always make sure you are aware of the full price – including taxes and fees before confirming a booking. Also bear in mind that budget airlines do not provide a full service, such as free in-flight meals, and that you may prefer to pay a little bit extra to get such add-ons.
