Tips for finding cheap flights to Ibiza

Any holiday gets off to a great start if you are able to get cheap plane tickets. The art of uncovering bargains starts with time:

Buy in advance.

One of the best ways to save money is to find low-cost flights to Ibiza many months ahead of your trip. Prices tend to be lower on advance purchases and you can save even more if you travel in low season.
Buying tickets seven weeks in advance can lead to discounts of 10 to 25%.

Be flexible.

If your dates are fixed, it’s more likely you’ll have to pay more for tickets. But if you can adjust your itinerary by a few days or browse weeks that have low-cost flights to Ibiza advertised, you'll have more room to find significantly better prices.

Compare prices.

Price comparison sites like Skyscanner, Kayak and Momondo are great for finding the cheapest airline tickets. These sites allow you to compare the prices of different airlines on one website and can show you the best options for your trip. Note that Kayak includes the taxes in the initial comparison so you’re not surprised after going through all the steps to purchase!

Activate price alerts.

Most price comparison sites and airlines offer the option to receive price alerts for a specific trip. This allows you to receive notifications when ticket prices drop, so you can buy at a discount.

Travel on unpopular days.

The most popular days of the week to travel are Fridays and Sundays, so tickets for these days are usually more expensive. Flying on less popular days, such as Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday, can be a good way to save money on airfare.

Buy at night.

In general, it's best to book during the week and avoid flight shopping on weekends. Most of the cheap flights to Ibiza won’t be available to weekend shoppers, nor in the afternoons, since that is when most people are browsing airline sites. Buy your tickets early in the morning or late at night to ensure cheap holidays in Ibiza.

Complete the transportation savings: Consider your trip from the airport

Ibiza airport is located just 7.5 km from the Ibizan capital and multiple options that don’t include car rental – usually the most expensive way to move around – exist to get you from plane to pool.

Public transport

The cheapest way to get from Ibiza airport to the centre of Ibiza town is by bus. The ticket costs around €3.50 and takes between 25 and 50 minutes depending on the stop where you get off.
Buses pass every 15 or 30 minutes depending on the time of day and the time of year. Of course, the high season sees much more frequent buses but you’ll never be waiting long for public transport in Ibiza, the island is very well connected. Bus services run from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm.

Line 10 connects the airport with various points in the Ibizan capital, including Avenida de España, the Port of Ibiza – close to Hotel La Cala – and the bus station last of all. This means that, even if your final stop is in Formentera, you can see a little of the town centre before being dropped off at the port for the ferry.
The Formentera ferry runs from 6:30 am but the last ferry docks at 1:00 am and costs €20 for non-locals.

Private transport

A taxi is another option and usually costs between 15 and 20 euros to be picked up from the airport. The only problem you might encounter is thatin high season, you may have to wait a while for a taxi to be available.
There are always many options in terms of size and types of taxi, however. Simply follow the signs for taxi services when you leave arrivals and tell them the size of your group and any special needs.
