Jerez Airport

Here you can read about my personal experience of Flying from Jerez

Jerez Airport is the main airport for the Costa de La Luz and is located 5km north of the city of Jerez and is east of the NIV road to Seville. It handled 1,079,787 passengers and 43,327 flights in 2009.

The airport at Jerez is small and compact, with facilities located over two floors. The airport has a cafe area in the public area which is located on the upper level, a smaller cafe is located in the departures lounge, and just before the security and passport checks is a small shop offering gifts and daily international newspapers. A duty free shop is also available in the passenger zone.

There are five main car hire companies operating at Jerez Airport. Before booking you car you should read more about our experience with car hire at Jerez Airport.

The main companies are:  AurigaCrown at Jerez Airport - Avis at Jerez Airport - Europcar at Jerez Airport - Goldcar at Jerez Airport - Hertz at Jerez Airport - National Atesa at Jerez Airport.

All of the above companies have offices which you will find within the airport terminal between the arrivals and departures hall. Crown hire car and National Atesa also offer car rental at Jerez Airport and although you can collect and leave the cars at the airport they don't have fixed offices.

Another large company that operates out of Malaga, Niza car rental, have also just purchased a large plot of land on the outskirts of the airport so its safe to assume that they are expanding into Jerez Airport.

Jerez Airport is the principal airport for the Costa de La Luz and apart from the City of Jerez you can also easily get Jerez transfers to Seville, Tarifa, Chiclana, Algeciras, Gibraltar and Cadiz. In fact it is only a 75 minute drive from Marbella!

If you find the cost of a private transfer a bit expensive you might like to consider booking a seat on a private shuttle bus which stops at a number of places in the Jerez area.

You can fly into Jerez Airport from the UK and Germany. Internal Spanish flights are also available from Barcelona Airport, Palma Airport and Madrid Airport. In fact there are around six flights per day over the summer between Madrid and Jerez.

The main Jerez Airport Arrivals hall is on the ground floor and as you enter the hall there are double doors directly in front of you that lead to the taxi rank and bus stop.

From the air side, passengers access the baggage reclaim hall through one of the two doors (domestic and international, the latter has a passport control) located at the end of the hall. There are three baggage carousels. Also located in this area on your left are car hire offices which operate in both the restricted and public areas. In the general hall there is also a tourist information service. Check Live Jerez Arrivals

The Jerez Airport departures hall is also on the ground floor and is a wide, open hall with check in desks, toilets and a drinks machine. The airport has just five boarding gates. The main "public area" cafe is on the upper level of the departures hall and you can buy coffees, sandwiches, beers and cakes throughout the day. This cafe also gives a great view of the planes taking off and landing. Check live Jerez Departures
