Title: Bus to Alicante airport

Bus from Huercal Overa to Alicante airport. Does the bus go into the bus station at Murcia, and leave from there for the airport. Thanks for any info.

Hi, just a thought but what about www.exclusiveairportshuttles. Their www will tell you if they pick up in or near HO. May be a less stressful exercise if it works.

Thanks for that Bob. Unfortunately they only do an early morning run whereas my husband's flight is late afternoon.

I caught the bus from HO, changed at Murcia with a half hour wait then direct to the airport (leaves Murcia on the hour). Easy and convenient.

I booked online with www.alsa.es and printed off my own ticket

The bus from HO goes to the Bus Station in Murcia where the bus to the Airport departs. It is a direct service to and from the airport and works out at about half the price of the shuttle service. I think that you can get a ticket on your mobile phone which you show to the driver.
If you catch the direct service to and from Murcia there is usually a goodie bag with a bottle of water, cake and earphones.

Great service by ALSA, runs on time (barring accidents) BUT check the timetables carefully. The buses from Murcia to Alicante only run every hour with a two hour break at lunchtime and finish early. So if you miss the bus you could miss your flight. If I have an early morning flight I go the previous evening and spend the night at the airport with a good book. There are several reasonable restaurants there, or Alicante town is only a short bus ride away.
Don't forget if you live in the Chirivel area there is a bus direct to Murcia, but only one a day, I think.
