About flights from La Coruna (LCG)
A Coruña airport punches above its weight. It's small — only 12 direct routes — but what it lacks in size it makes up for in personality. Flying out of here feels genuinely local in a way that Madrid or Barcelona never will. No endless terminal walks, no hour-long security queues on a Tuesday morning. I've flown through enough regional Spanish airports to know that smaller usually means calmer, and LCG absolutely delivers on that front.

Why fly to La Coruna?
Galicia doesn't get nearly enough credit as a destination, and honestly that's part of its charm.

From LCG you can connect across five countries — Spain, the UK, Switzerland, Italy, and France — which is solid range for a mid-size airport. Vueling and easyJet both serve it, so budget options exist. The longest route stretches all the way down to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands at 1,821 km — a genuinely useful sun escape in winter.
