Valencia Airport departures won't have any problems travelling to the airport, as the region's aviation hub is well connected by the A-3 motorway, linking Valencia with Madrid. This motorway passes the airport. The coastal route is also covered with the A-7 motorway connection to Barcelona.

Several car hire providers have rental desks at the airport and in the city center, making it possible to collect a car at one location and drive to the airport, where the rental vehicle can be handed back to the service team in the designated parking lot for rental cars.

Metro lines 3 and 5 offer easy train access from the city center to the airport, but there are also two different bus connections that serve the airport from Valencia destinations. A journey from the main railway station to the airport takes around 15 minutes, while from other city center destinations the journey to the airport will take around 25 minutes.

The Metrobus takes 45 minutes from city center locations (line 150), while the Aerobus shuttle service takes just 20 minutes to cover the distance – without making quite so many stops.

Departures at Valencia Airport can choose from a large number of airlines: Vueling, Ryanair, Wizzair, Air Berlin and Air Europa, Easyjet, Jet2.com, Alitalia and Iberia to name but a few all offer affordable air travel to and from Valencia’s airport.

Passengers have free WiFi access from all public areas of the terminal, making it possible to check-in online and to make last minutes changes to travel arrangements online. An information desk at the airport provides passengers with general information, while three tourist and transportation information desks can offer more specific assistance.

Several cafeterias, burger bars and a restaurant offer affordable snacks and refreshments. Duty Free shopping is available once passengers have passed through the security control zone and are heading for the gates and departure lounge.

Taxi services are available from all major hotels – there are 12 hotels within close proximity to the airport – and from outside the mainline train station in the city center. Airport taxi services are run by Valencia city taxis and taxi operators from Manises. They charge a trip to and from the airport at fare zone B prices, which means there is an airport supplement of EUR 4.95 that is added to the fare.

The daytime minimum fare is EUR 1.45 for zone 1, 2 and 3 with every additional kilometer traveled being added at EUR 1.01 for zone 1, EUR 1.13 for zone 2 and EUR 1.16 for zone 3. Zone A includes just the city centers of Valencia and Mislata, while zone B incorporates the wider metropolitan area of Valencia and Manises. Day time prices are charged between the hours of 6.00 am to 10.00 pm. From 10.00 pm onward until 6.00 am night time supplements apply. The taxi rank at the airport is located roughly in the middle of the terminal, where passengers will be dropped off as near to the departure zone as possible.
