Flights from London Gatwick to Benicassim 2026

London Gatwick (LGW)

Flying from London Gatwick

Gatwick is a strong option for festival-goers in London and the South East. EasyJet operates routes from Gatwick to both Valencia and Alicante, giving you flexibility to compare prices on both routes. Gatwick is well connected by the Gatwick Express from London Victoria, making it easily accessible from across the capital.

Valencia is the preferred destination if available - it cuts the ground transfer considerably. Check both South and North terminals for departures, as airlines are split between them.

Tips

Getting the Best Deal from London Gatwick

Book Early

Mid-July is peak summer travel season. Book flights as soon as you have tickets to the festival. Prices rise sharply as July approaches.

Compare Both Destinations

Always check Valencia and the alternative airport side by side. A cheaper flight to Alicante may still work out better value even with a longer bus transfer.

Travel Light

Budget airline hold luggage fees add up quickly. Pack as light as possible and buy toiletries in Spain. If you must check a bag, book it with your flight rather than adding it later.

Book the Festival Bus in Advance

FIBERBUS transfers from the airport to the festival site can sell out. Once your flight is booked, add the bus transfer immediately via the official FIB website.
