Destination briefALCAlicanteA castle on a rock over a working Mediterranean city — and the cheapest fares on the Spanish coast.Best windowMay–Jun · Sep–OctAirportsAlicante–Elche (ALC)All routes into AlicanteWhen this route gets cheap.
Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Oct is the cheapest for DXB → ALC. Best time to be there: May–Jun · Sep–Oct.
Fares bottom out in October around $267 and peak in September near $493 — a $226 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 12 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip — ticketed under Turkish Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $267 for 5,385 km each way, that works out to about $25 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $39 that medium-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 6 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Alicante, this fare ranks 2nd — 11% above the $241 from Abu Dhabi. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 38 routes of similar length we watch out of Dubai, where the middle fare is $326.

How far in advance should I book DXB → Alicante?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Dubai to Alicante?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Turkish Airlines. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
