Have you decided to come to Ibiza and/or Formentera for your next holiday? Whether you dream of Ibiza’s legendary nights, its wild coves or Formentera’s turquoise beaches (reachable only by boat from Ibiza), it all starts with one important step: finding the right flight.
Key points for your flight to Ibiza
- When to book? Planning ahead is key.
Book 3 to 4 months in advance at least for a high-season departure. If you are flexible, go in shoulder season (May, September, October) for unbeatable fares. - Which day to buy your ticket?
Search and book mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday): prices are more attractive than at the weekend. - Where to find the best prices?
Start with comparison sites such as Booking (flights option) and Skyscanner.
Use the “whole month” view to spot the cheapest flights easily. - Which airlines to target? The main airlines flying direct to Ibiza from the UK and Ireland are Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, TUI, British Airways and Vueling, depending on the airport and the season. Low-cost airlines offer the best base fares, but you will often have to pay extra for luggage.

Ibiza airport (IBZ) is very well served from the UK and the rest of Europe, especially in the warmer months. But fares can soar if you go about it the wrong way. So how do you find a cheap flight to Ibiza?
Here is our complete guide and best tips for flying at the best price.
When should you buy your flight to Ibiza?
Booking early is no secret when it comes to getting a better fare and saving money. Ibiza is a hugely popular destination, especially in July and August.
1 → Plan ahead
For a high-season departure (June to September), do not wait until the last minute.
Ideally, book your tickets 3 to 4 months in advance. The fuller the plane gets, the more the airlines’ algorithms push prices up.
2 → Travel outside high season
If you can go in May, late September or October, you will save a lot.
The weather is still very pleasant, the crowds have gone, and tickets can cost two to three times less.
3 → Book mid-week
You often hear that you should book on a Tuesday in the middle of the night.
There is no hard and fast rule, but booking mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) is often better value than at the weekend, when demand is higher (and prices mathematically rise). And a flight on a Tuesday or Thursday will always be cheaper than a Friday evening departure.
Which airlines fly to Ibiza?
Many airlines offer direct flights to Ibiza, especially from London (Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Heathrow), Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dublin.
Airlines flying to Ibiza
Direct flights from the UK mainly run from April to October. Out of season, you will often need to connect via Barcelona, Palma or Madrid.
Full-service airlines
British Airways or Iberia also serve the island.
Their headline fares are sometimes higher, but they often include more luggage and offer handy connections if you travel in low season, when direct flights are scarcer.
Low-cost airlines (the cheapest)
These are your best allies for a cheap flight.
The ones you will find: Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, TUI and Vueling run very regular direct routes from April to October. Be careful though: read the luggage conditions closely, as a cabin bag is now often charged extra!
Price comparison sites
You can check each airline’s prices one by one. The advantage of flight comparison sites is that they help you find the best fare in a few clicks. And if you are flexible (selecting a whole month, for example), you can save £50, £100 or even more at a glance!
- Skyscanner and Google Flights: the essentials. They show at a glance which airline is cheapest for your dates. The “whole month” view is the magic tool! If your holiday dates are flexible, use the “whole month” option on Skyscanner. You will immediately see the days when flights to Ibiza are going cheap.
- Booking Flights offers a powerful comparison tool with a wide choice of airlines. If you are a Genius member, you also save on your flight.
Set up price alerts: planning ahead? Set an alert for your dates. You will get an email as soon as the fare drops, so you can jump on the deal at the right moment.
Deals on flights and holidays to Ibiza
Sometimes the best deal is not a flight-only fare but a package.
Before booking, compare a flight + hotel package with the price of a separate flight and hotel: in high season, packages are sometimes cheaper.
The same goes for car hire and activities: booking them early often saves money.
Ready for take-off? Once your ticket is in your pocket, the adventure can begin!
And after the flight? Head for Formentera!
Your flights to Ibiza are booked? Congratulations, the holidays are getting closer! But wait, your trip may not end there…
If your final destination is the beautiful neighbouring island of Formentera, do not forget one key fact: Formentera has no airport. So to the question “Is there an airport in Formentera?”, the answer is no.
The one and only way to set foot there is by sea! As soon as you land at Ibiza airport (IBZ), you will need to get to the port to board. Especially in high season, we strongly advise planning this step ahead so you do not waste time queuing in the sun.

Q&A: finding a cheap flight to Ibiza
When should you buy your flight to Ibiza?

Low-cost airlines offer the lowest fares but often charge extra for hold luggage.

Which day of the week should you buy your flight to Ibiza?
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are generally the days with the most attractive prices. Purchases made mid-week often get lower fares than at the weekend, when demand is higher. Also set up price alerts on Skyscanner or Google Flights to be notified of fare drops in real time.
How do you find the cheapest flights to Ibiza?
Three habits to adopt: use comparison sites in “whole month” mode (Skyscanner, Booking Flights, Google Flights) to see the cheapest days at a glance; set up price alerts on your route; and choose weekday departures rather than Friday evening or Sunday. For holidays, Booking also has a built-in flight comparison tool with package deals that are sometimes worthwhile.
