Valencia Airport (VLC)

The terminal at Valencia Airport

Valencia Airport (VLC) lies eight kilometres to the west of the city, and Aena, the company that runs it, says most of the traffic it handles is international, with the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom as the countries with the most passengers, and that its three busiest domestic destinations are Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza and Madrid. The airport works from Terminal 1, and the metro stations are on the ground floor of the regional flights terminal.

Aena's own departures board shows every flight with its company, its terminal, its check-in desks and its boarding gate, so the page to look at before you leave home is the airport's own. The contact page says the airport is open 24 hours a day, every day, and gives the telephone attention number, (+34) 913 211 000.

Getting to and from Valencia Airport

Two Metrovalencia lines serve the airport, and both stations are on the ground floor of the regional flights terminal. Line 3 links the airport with the city centre, the university area and the northern part of the metropolitan area, and line 5 links it directly with the city centre and the port. The trains leave every 15 minutes on working days and about every 20 minutes on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and Metrovalencia has an information office in the arrivals area.

The metropolitan bus line 150 (Metrobus) also links the airport with the city centre, with stops at Mislata, Quart de Poblet and Manises; it runs every 26 minutes from Monday to Friday and every 35 minutes on Saturdays, and it does not run on Sundays or on public holidays. The taxi companies at the airport are Radio Taxi Manises, Radio Taxi Valencia, Taxis de Valencia, Taxi Valencia and Taxco.

Valencia Airport with children

Aena's own page for families says the airport has services for babies and children's areas to make the waiting time more pleasant, a priority access checkpoint for passengers with children, a nursing room with armchairs, tables and chairs of children's size, microwave ovens and a television, and a children's play area.

The airport also runs an assistance service for passengers with reduced mobility, and its page explains how it works: there are signposted meeting points inside and outside the terminal, and a member of the service comes to find you there and escorts you all the way to your seat on the aircraft. The request has to be notified at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure, and if no time was set in it, you should arrive at the meeting point at least two and a half hours before the flight.

Plan your stop at Valencia Airport

If you need assistance, book it with the airline when you book the ticket and notify Aena at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure, then arrive at the meeting point you agreed at the time you asked for. The airport publishes the maximum waiting times of the service, and for a departure with prior notice 80% of the passengers are helped within 10 minutes of announcing their arrival.

Keep your passport and any form you filled in on the plane with you from the aircraft door to the exit, and ask the embassy or the consulate of every country on your route which documents your family needs to enter it.
