When Swedes started flying regularly to Spain in the 1960s, it revolutionized our travel habits. However, the selection was limited, the travel time was long and the prices were expensive. However, a lot has happened with flying, and especially with flight prices since then. Many people nowadays find it a jungle to find good and cheap airlines for their trip to Spain.
We have therefore put together an almost complete list of flights to Spain from Sweden during the year. There are now several cheap low-cost flights to southern Spain, such as Malaga. Direct flights as well as charters. It has never been easier and cheaper, after all, to fly to Spain.
What flight departures etc. will look like in the wake of the Corona crisis was difficult to predict, but it was not as bad as feared. After a few years, the industry is already back to record levels. In 2026, international flights to certain airports in Spain will be more than ever. Spain has been one of the countries least affected. It is rather that shares have been taken from more long-distance destinations during the pandemic.

Tips for those who want to fly the cheapest way to Spain in 2026
- Recently, economics professor Claudio Piga examined the price of air travel for low-cost airlines (Ryanair, Norwegian, etc.) and found that, on average, airline tickets are at their cheapest 10 days before departure. The days before departure, prices increase by 50-75%.
- Always pay for your trip with your credit card, as most credit cards offer various travel insurances as a bonus. Among other things, you can get compensation for delayed flights or luggage, as well as cancellation protection. Some cards offer even more insurance. Ask your bank what your card covers.
- Flying to your destination on a Friday and back on a Sunday is, as with most modes of transport, the most expensive option. Also, avoid public holidays for both your outbound and return journeys.
- Try two different low-cost airlines for your outbound and return journeys. It can be worth it, even if it's a bit more inconvenient.
- Don't be afraid of detours. For example, it may be worth flying via a stopover in Europe instead of a direct flight to Spain.
- Take travel costs and parking fees into account for your trip to the airport you have chosen to fly from. For example, if you live near a smaller airport like Karlstad or Örebro, it may be worth getting an airport seat from there even if the flight prices are more expensive than in Stockholm or Gothenburg. Besides, it never hurts to save time…
- Be careful to check for hidden costs that are added in the form of taxes, baggage fees, etc. This is especially true for low-cost airlines like Ryan Air.
- It is cheapest to fly to Spain in April (except for Easter week)
- And most expensive in February. But if you book well in advance, you should be able to find good prices on tickets all year round.
- The autumn trip (especially charters, prices are halved compared to the high season during this period) is booked cheapest after schools start again.
- Most airlines release promotions in August and September.
- Try different travel dates for your round-trip ticket if you have the luxury of time. It can make a huge difference in price .
- These days, you can usually find the cheapest flight ticket the earlier you book your trip! Hoping for a really economical last-minute booking for your flight ticket is therefore not too much to hope for.

All flights to Spain from Swedish airports in 2026
Malaga is becoming increasingly dominant. For just a few years now, Norwegian has had direct flights from Växjö Småland Airport and Stockholm Skavsta to Málaga. There is also a new flight from Stockholm Skavsta to Alicante.
Please note that the list of flights from airports in Sweden to Spain below does not include all charter flights, and is probably not completely complete as it is astonishingly difficult to obtain a complete list of all flights in 2026 from Sweden from the Swedish Transport Agency. In addition, companies such as Ryanair and Norwegian are constantly adjusting their offer. Norwegian offers direct flights to Málaga from around fifteen locations in the Nordic region, making it easy for travelers to reach this popular destination in Spain.
NOTE! The list is constantly changing! It is currently more of a finger viewing of where flights will depart from. Expect new flight routes, and even new airlines, to appear at short notice for a long time to come.
