As the go-to summer destination for British holidaymakers, flights to the Costa del Sol from the UK are cheap and frequent.
The main gateway for the Costa del Sol is Málaga Airport (AGP), officially Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, which is located just south of Málaga city.

Costa del Sol flights from UK airports typically take around three hours, around 30 minutes more if you take off from Edinburgh. This means that you can wake up in soggy Britain and be in the sun-soaked Costa del Sol for lunch.
During summer, dozens of daily direct flights leave from the UK at various times, so you can avoid the dreaded middle-of-the-night airport trek.
If you are hoping to book a cheap flight to the Costa del Sol in 2025, you can easily compare the fares of various low-cost carriers online.
Ryanair, easyJet, TUI, Norwegian, Jet2, Flybe, British Airways and Aer Lingus all offer low-cost Costa del Sol flights, departing from all over the UK, including Edinburgh, Belfast, Birmingham, Exeter, Bristol, Cardiff and East Midlands Airport.
Direct flights from London Gatwick to the Costa del Sol take off with British Airways, easyJet and Norwegian, while Heathrow is served by BA. Ryanair, easyJet and BA operate Malaga flights from London Stansted, while London Luton offers departures with TUI and easyJet.
You can compare flights from Manchester to Málaga from easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, TUI and Norwegian.

Be warned: scoring a cheap flight to Costa del Sol airport may not always be as much of a bargain as it seems. Each airline has their own rules and prices for baggage (be aware that these can differ depending on whether you book a package holiday or a flight only). Many carriers, including British Airways, allow you to choose between a basic hand-baggage only option and a slightly pricier fare that includes a check-in bag.
Though Málaga Airport is the nearest airport to the Costa del Sol, it is not the only option. There are several airports in the region that are also within manageable driving distance of the Costa del Sol.
You may want to fly to Jerez Airport instead, which is on average a two-hour drive from Marbella. Another arrival point worth considering is Gibraltar Airport, which is an hour south of Marbella.

In 2025, most flights to these airports depart from London, so unless you live in the south of the UK it might not be worth the schlep.

Every day, TravelSupermarket scans more than two million holiday prices from the UK’s top travel companies, plus deals from over 700 individual car hire providers from more than 20 suppliers.

Holiday prices do not include tourist tax so make sure you know what and how much this is. Check whether extras such as hold luggage and transfers from the airport are included, too, if they are important to you.
All of the travel companies on TravelSupermarket that sell package holidays including flights provide financial protection through the ATOL scheme. Once you’ve booked, you should receive an ATOL certificate from the company you booked with.
If your package holiday doesn’t include a flight, protection will be provided by ABTA or the Travel Trust Association.
Before you go on holiday, it’s sensible to check the latest travel advice about the country you are travelling to, paying attention to entry requirements and any safety concerns.
