Flights to Gibraltar

A flight from London Heathrow, London Gatwick or London City airports to Gibraltar International Airport takes around three hours.

The most popular time to visit is during the spring and summer months, but the weather is pleasant all year round. To save, consider booking flights for autumn or winter to make the most of this destination with fewer crowds.

You can make a trip to Gibraltar fit any budget. Explore the city’s beautiful beaches, like Playa de Levante and Western Beach, which are free to access. Enjoy affordable meals at local restaurants, where you can tuck in to Mediterranean or British dishes. You can also take advantage of free admission days at attractions and historic sites like The Alameda, Gibraltar’s Botanic Gardens, and Harding’s Battery.

Once you touch down at Gibraltar International Airport, you’re a 25-minute drive from Gibraltar Town Centre, and taxis can easily be found outside Arrivals. The cheapest way to travel is by taking the bus that departs from outside the airport terminal.  

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Gibraltar has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points every rental. 

Bringing together rich history and sunny stretches, Gibraltar offers something for every visitor. Settle in at one of the beaches or hop between a few – the tranquil cove of Little Bay is ideal for a relaxed day, or the sands of Camp Bay offer up a livelier alternative. Keep the coastal theme going with a trip to Catalan Bay, a traditional fishing village where colourful buildings and seafood brighten the beachfront. On the eastern Mediterranean coast, Sandy Bay promises warmer waters and easy access to the town centre. In the evening, follow Europa Road towards Europa Point for panoramic sunset views overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar.
