Flights home all year: Amsterdam, London and the US
Summer timetables hide a winter problem. From where in Spain can you fly home directly, every month of the year?
For anyone with family in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK or the US, the real question is not “how far is the airport” but “can I fly home directly, all year?”. Many routes from Spain only fly in summer. We checked the route tables of every Spanish airport plus the nearest ones across the border (Porto, Faro, Lisbon, Biarritz, Perpignan, Gibraltar, Toulouse).
Places with a year-round direct flight from an airport within 100 km (places)
| Direct flight to | Year-round within 100 km | Only summer flights within 100 km |
|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam | 252 of 333 | 26 |
| Brussels (incl. Charleroi) | 260 of 333 | 36 |
| London | 298 of 333 | 1 |
| Paris | 278 of 333 | 10 |
| Frankfurt | 243 of 333 | 35 |
| the United States | 91 of 333 | 70 |
The United States
Of the airports that serve our 333 places, year-round direct flights to the US leave only from Barcelona, Lisbon, Madrid, Porto. From Bilbao, Faro, Málaga, Palma, Santiago they are summer only. So for most of Spain a year-round trip to the US starts with a drive or train to one of a handful of airports.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is far better connected: 252 of the 333 places have a year-round flight within 100 km. Among the airports nearest to our places, Amsterdam flights are summer only from Asturias, Biarritz, Menorca, Santiago.
Galicia, a special case
Galicia's own airports have few year-round international routes, so for the 17 Galician places the nearest year-round flight to Amsterdam is usually from Porto, in Portugal, 110 km to 254 km away.
Routes change every season; we list what the airport route tables showed on 4 October 2026, and leave out routes announced to start later. On the compare page you can require a year-round flight to any of these cities within a set distance.
