Alicante Airport Departures (ALC) — Live Today

Every take-off from Alicante-Elche, from check-in to wheels-up. Rows move through Check-in open, Boarding and Departed as the aircraft’s transponder reports its progress — delays show in red the moment they’re detected.

Reading the departures board

The gate column follows the airport’s usual assignments for each rotation; once a flight goes Live, the time you see is the real off-blocks moment reported by the aircraft itself. The board refreshes every 10 minutes on its own.

When should I be at the gate?

• Low-cost carriers (Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet): bag-drop typically closes 40 minutes before departure; be at the gate 30 minutes before.
• Full-service (Iberia, Air Europa, Lufthansa): check-in closes 45 minutes before; gates close 20 minutes before.
• Summer mornings 06:00–09:00 are the busiest wave — add 20 minutes to every estimate.

Before you fly

Check the airport guide for security wait patterns, or the FAQ for liquids, bags and documentation. And if you’re collecting rather than flying, the arrivals board is the friendlier tab today.
