Flying to Murcia in Winter: Every Route, January to March 2026

Yes, you can fly to Murcia all winter. Región de Murcia International Airport at Corvera ran 11 year-round destinations through winter 2025-26, including seven from the UK and Ireland: easyJet from Gatwick, Luton and Bristol, and Ryanair from Stansted, Birmingham, Manchester and Dublin. That makes winter golf on the Costa Cálida easy to reach.

Why do winter flights matter for a Murcia golf home?

Because winter is when Murcia golf is at its best. It's too hot to play much in July and August, so October to May is high season on the courses: cooler, sunny days and fairways in great condition. GNK Golf's 2026 rate card shows it clearly. At La Torre, high season runs February to May and September to November; at El Valle, March to May and September to October.

Year-round flights mean you can swap a grey January at home for a morning round in the sunshine, then lunch on the terrace. With these routes, several short trips each winter is an easy pattern to settle into.

Which routes run to Murcia all winter?

Eleven destinations operated through winter 2025-26, three more than the winter before. Seven of them are UK or Irish routes.

The Ryanair routes run four times a week rather than daily, so it's worth choosing your travel days first and booking around them.

Which extra routes are added in summer?

From spring the network grows to around 20 destinations. The UK routes that run in summer only include:

• Glasgow (Ryanair)
• East Midlands (Ryanair)
• Bournemouth (Ryanair)

Other summer-only destinations include Oviedo, Bilbao, Ostend-Bruges, Lille, Marseille and Venice. If you live near Glasgow, East Midlands or Bournemouth, you can fly direct for summer visits and use one of the year-round airports, or Alicante, for winter trips.

How easy is it to plan a winter golf trip to Murcia?

Very. A few simple habits help:

1. Book your return flight first. With four-a-week routes, the return date usually decides the length of the trip. 2. Line up your tee times. High season is busy, so book popular courses early. 3. Price the transfer once. From Corvera, a private transfer to Condado de Alhama is around €64; if you'll visit often, compare that with car hire or keeping a car at the house. 4. Check the new season's schedule. Airlines set routes each season, so confirm the winter timetable when it's published before you book a string of trips.

If you're flying out to choose a home, we arrange and accompany viewing trips across the resorts, so a short winter break is enough to see Corvera Hills, Condado de Alhama and Santa Rosalia side by side.

What if you're flying from the Netherlands, Belgium or Scandinavia?

Corvera doesn't have scheduled Dutch or Scandinavian routes in any season, so owners from those countries fly into Alicante, with its very large year-round network. From Alicante it's roughly 70-90 minutes' drive to the resorts, compared with 12-20 minutes from Corvera for the closest ones. A private transfer from Alicante is around €164, and car hire is available at both airports. Driving down with your clubs in the boot is another option.

Is Murcia airport growing?

Yes, and that's good news for owners. Corvera handled 949,007 passengers in 2025, and the first half of 2026 was up 10.7% on the same period a year earlier. The winter 2025-26 network was three destinations bigger than the previous winter.

Growth like that tends to bring more choice of routes and times, which makes a home on the Costa Cálida even easier to enjoy through the golf season.
