Iberia and Alsa Transform Global Travel Access Across Spain With Game-Changing Bus&Fly Network Linking 25 Cities to Over 90 Worldwide Destinations
Spain’s regional cities are now directly connected to the world like never before. Thanks to the dynamic partnership between Iberia and Alsa, the upgraded Bus&Fly network now links 25 Spanish cities—including five exciting new additions—with Iberia’s global flight network through Madrid Airport’s Terminal 4, offering travelers the freedom to explore more with just one ticket.
Spain’s Regional Cities Step Onto the Global Stage
From this month, five new cities—Coruña (LRN), Lugo (LCU), Palencia (PAI), Torrelavega (TVE), and Cartagena (CXG)—join the Bus&Fly network, turning long-standing travel barriers into effortless, connected journeys. With each now carrying its own IATA code, these cities gain international recognition and logistical integration, opening doors for both outbound and inbound travelers.
Now, destinations such as Cartagena connect to Tokyo, Lugo to Boston, and Palencia to São Paulo—bringing distant worlds startlingly close to regional Spain.
One Ticket, Global Possibilities
Whether you’re traveling from the charming streets of Lugo or arriving from Tokyo, the Bus&Fly experience delivers a smooth, all-in-one itinerary. Travelers begin or end their international journey via a direct Alsa coach to Madrid’s Terminal 4 and continue seamlessly with an Iberia international flight. The same service operates in reverse for incoming global travelers seeking to discover Spain beyond its major cities.
This expansion makes international adventures not just possible—but simple, cost-effective, and streamlined for millions across Spain.
Key Features That Redefine Convenience
The Bus&Fly program acts like a single, interlinked itinerary with several standout benefits:
One Reservation: Book your entire journey—bus and flight—on a single ticket.
Guaranteed Transfers: Missed a connection? No problem. Iberia and Alsa ensure alternative travel options.
Smarter Schedules: Timings between bus arrivals and flight departures are optimized for minimal wait times.
Basic Fare Access: Travelers can now choose Iberia’s most affordable Economy option even when using Bus&Fly, ideal for budget-conscious flyers with no checked luggage.
The Full Power of 25 Connected Cities
Here’s the expanded list of cities now part of the Bus&Fly network, including the newly assigned IATA codes for the five latest additions:

This expansive reach gives travelers from nearly every corner of Spain the ability to board a bus, arrive in Madrid, and then fly to more than 90 international destinations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and beyond.
A Boost for Spain’s Regional Tourism and Sustainability
For Spain’s regional travelers, Bus&Fly is a ticket to the world. For international tourists, it’s a fast-track to Spain’s lesser-known but equally enchanting destinations. Whether it’s Palencia’s historic cathedrals or Lugo’s ancient Roman walls, these cities are now just a flight and coach ride away from anywhere on the planet.
But there’s more—this initiative also plays into a more sustainable model of travel. By replacing short-haul flights with low-emission coach journeys, Iberia and Alsa are aligning with greener travel objectives without sacrificing convenience or speed.
Breaking Down Barriers to Seamless Travel
Until recently, travelers in Spain’s inland and coastal towns had to cobble together fragmented journeys—separate bus tickets, train transfers, airport hassles. Bus&Fly eliminates all that.
Now, you can:
Depart from your hometown without needing to first reach a major airport hub.
Travel with full peace of mind, knowing your connection is guaranteed.
Skip the headache of coordinating multiple transport providers.
Global Connectivity, Local Comfort
Imagine waking up in Torrelavega, boarding an Alsa coach with your bags, gliding into Madrid’s Terminal 4, and later landing in New York, London, or Lima—all with one booking and a single travel record. This isn’t just the future of travel—it’s happening now.
For business travelers, students, families, and tourists alike, the expanded Bus&Fly service brings world-class connectivity to your doorstep. Iberia and Alsa’s collaboration is unlocking bold new opportunities in both outbound travel and regional tourism development.
