Per person,

Explore Spain’s culinary and cultural gem

Fly from London to San Sebastian with British Airways for a true taste of Spain.

Located in the mountainous Basque Country on the Bay of Biscay, the city’s famous crescent coastline is blessed with sandy beaches perfect for sun worshipers and surfers alike.

For foodies, San Sebastian is paradise. Its diverse food scene and culinary traditions attract visitors around the world, and they flock to the lively Pintxos bars – the Basque variety of tapas – that line the characterful streets.

There’s plenty of culture to get stuck into too, thanks to San Sebastian’s rich heritage and arts scene. Browse the iconic Kursaal, the historic Teatro Victoria Eugenia or Tabakalera, the city’s contemporary arts centre. From the International Film Festival to the Semana Grande, there’s always plenty going on.

Flight time

San sebastian faqs.

You can fly from London City (LCY) to San Sebastian Airport (EAS) in just two hours.

The cheapest months to fly to San Sebastian are October to March, when it’s cooler. To find the cheapest flights to San Sebastian, use our low fare finder .

While San Sebastian is known for its world-class restaurants, there’s no shortage of great quality pintxos bars and cafes that cater to every budget. If you’re looking to save on costs, make your way to the Gros district for pintxo-pote Thursdays, where you can pick up a drink and delicious tapas for a set price.

San Sebastian’s coast is lined with luxury hotels and resorts, but there are guest houses and B&Bs for much less inland across the city. When it comes to museums and galleries, check out their websites before planning your itinerary, as there are often certain days of the week when entry is free.

San Sebastian Airport is close to the Spanish-French border and from there it’s just a 20-minute taxi ride to the city centre. You can also pre-book a shuttle service or take the bus from outside Arrivals, which runs once an hour.

Once you’ve arrived in San Sebastian, it’s easy to get around on foot or by public transport. The bus service is regular and comprehensive – and you can buy a pass rather than pay for individual journeys. Cycling is also popular thanks to there being over 77km of cycle paths.

San Sebastian’s appeal is in its versatility. You can laze on La Concha beach and drink local Txakoli wine at sunset one day and brush up on Basque history at the Museo Naval or Museo San Telmo the next. You can also get active and hire a bike to discover the city like a local, or hike up Monte Urgull for far-reaching ocean views. For the more adventurous, San Sebastian is the starting point for the Camino del Norte – an ambitious trek that’s traditionally a form of pilgrimage. The trail takes you the scenic route through the Basque Country along the northern shoreline of Spain, all the way to Bilbao.

Then of course, there’s the food. Come with an appetite and you won’t be disappointed, whether you’re bar hopping around Gros or living it up at a Michelin-starred restaurant – just remember to book in advance. 

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders do not need a visa to visit Spain.

Top 3 airlines serving from london to san sebastian.

Checking was efficient and quick. Adequate luggage space. Food for purchase only at high prices

Nothing. There was no flight. They cancelled the flight with no replacement about 9 hours before takeoff.

The flight was canceled at the last minute. Alternative flight was booked after 6 hours wait in Malaga airport.

Boarding with some sense and communication. It was a total free-for-all everyone coming all at once, no organisation of row numbers or priority.

Horrible, flight cancelled and had to come back the next day

Terrible. For clarity - this was the Level flight to Boston. Not Vueling. Would urge customers to avoid this airline. Gate agent was singularly unhelpful. He was argumentative, rude and went out of his way to ensure that every penny was collected for the baggage (which we realized given how early we were for flight we could have saved hundreds of dollars if we checked in on app). No onboard entertainment or WiFi. Half of the front section was empty because the seats did not work! Plane was falling apart.

No complimentary snacks, but I think that’s a standard in the USA. There were loud drunk Germans sitting in front of us.

Good standard flight the plan was clean could not complain the only thing is checking in the pushchair was very slow only 3 people at the counter.

The flight was delayed and nobody was able to inform me about the new scheduled time and gate

The flight attendants were friendly and professional. I asked to change my seat and the flight attendant was accommodating. We experienced a short delay due to the late arrival of the plane. However, the onboarding and disembarking process was efficient.

Outstanding. plane was a bit dated but safe and clean

Non-responsive after a flight cancellation, basically the airline kicked us out of the airport to wait in an endless line to speak to a single representative. I found another flight luckily not with Iberia. Many were not so fortunate. I’m still waiting for a reply to my flight cancellation/compensation query 5 days later. A trans- Atlantic crossing was hot and cramped. Food was great staff were nice but never again.

Both flights had no inflight wifi. The layover that i eria setup made it so i had to sprint through madrid airport at full speed even though the plane was on time. Never again. The flight there none of the screens worked.

Boarding passes should be checked upon boarding to avoid a situation we got into, delays due to wrong boarding

Horrible. Flight was canceled and customer service was way below par

Iberia schedules flights with short layovers in Madrid so many miss their flights. Also they lost our luggage twice - really a weak operation and will never fly with them again

It was cancelled. And they had terrible customer service to rebook. Then our rebooked flight was cancelled

The food was horrible. The crew skipped over me for drinks(only got food?). I had to wait until everyone else was served drinks in order to receive mine(meal was done). No earphones were given. No free WiFi.

The economy seats had space unlike Iberia Airlines from NY to Barcelona.

Comfortable seat Attentive cabin crew Asian vegetarian meal very good Not enough drinks were offered during flight No ice cream Snack offered before landing not good very unpleasant taste no choices

Flight OK but they only loaded half of the checked bags on. This they only told us on arrival

Flight cancelled! Rebooked by circuitous routing although there were seats available on other nonstop flights.

My experience was very disappointing. Firstly I was unable to check in using the kiosks. Secondly even though I purchased a flight with one checked bag, I was told at the counter that a checked bag was not included in my flight booking. And I had to pay for my bag. At the check in counter, the airline representative was very arrogant and demeaning. She insisted on charging me £140 for the luggage. And said it was an automatic charge calculated by the scale. This didn’t make sense to me. As it was 0.5 kg overweight. Which only required me to remove 2 bottles of water. Having an extensive flight schedule that involved multiple flights included NY and Brussels, this leg of my flight was the most stressful and unpleasant.

Service of the crews were great. Food on flight was very greasy, and salty.

Sardine can herringbone layout in business class. Uncomfortable and nowhere to put your book, phone, headphones, etc. worst hard product ever, and the service and food aren’t good enough to make it worthwhile. Expensive garbage. British Airways purchased this thinking only about financials, clearly not customer experience. British Airways business class is the garbage truck of the skies. Hard pass!

Horrible. I bought a flight with British airlines from Amsterdam to Orlando via London. Less than a day they changed my flight to London so I had to fly to London city airport and then find my way to Gatwick for my connecting flight. It was very costly

I never travelled better and more comfortably than with this flight because I was upgraded to the business class! it was amazing in every aspect. I was able to lay down and sleep, and the food was comparable to a gourmet restaurant menu. The flight was not only on time, but even much earlier, the crew was excellent as well. It felt like a very nice reward after so many uncomfortable and frustrating travels in the past decades. Even though most of my past trips were not with BA, they gave me a memorable gift with this favor. Thank you British Airways!

Aircraft delayed for two hours due to a technical issue with the rear emergency exit door slide not working.

No entertainment system, but it is a short flight so that is not a big deal.

What a great flight that was. Leaving from the small London City Airport, which was easy and convenient to get to on public transport, The flight was slightly delayed, but no big deal. The crew was attentive and served the light sandwich meal, a snack and a soft drink with a smile. The seats were ok, but the same like other budget airlines. The onboard luggage allowance was good and way better and hassle free compared with budget airlines. Well done B.A. and keep the good work up 👍👏
