Or sometimes (depending on flight schedules, say) the security at Alicante is lacking: just because some flights go direct from Alicante to LHR doesn't mean all flights departing Alicante can do so. In any event, you seem focused on being able to find a reason that satisfies you. That may be an impossible goal, and it will not affect your travel: to fly this route, you'll have to jump whatever hurdles are placed before you. | |

| Nov 30, 2022 at 16:20 | comment | added | Shmiel | @DavidSupportsMonica There are direct flights between Alicante and UK without any additional security checks, so it must be Madrid doesn't trust security in Alicante, which doesn't make sense to me. | |
| Nov 30, 2022 at 15:41 | comment | added | DavidRecallsMonica | The question assumes that the security process at all airports is identical. It isn't. The security process depends on the airport, the itinerary, the airline, the nationality of the traveler, the rules of the government entity or business conducts the evaluation, and probably other factors too. Thus, if the UK security authorities think the security process at Alicante is lacking, you could well be required to pass security again as you transit in Madrid. | |

| Nov 28, 2022 at 16:52 | comment | added | diya | You're transferring from a domestic flight to a non-schengen international flight, so I think you will need to go through customs at Madrid airport. It will depend on which terminals your flights arrive and depart, as well as whether you already have a boarding pass or not and/or if your luggage is checked through to your final destination if you can transfer air-side or will be leaving the secure zone and will need to pass security again. - So: no definitive answer is possible with the limited information you provide. | |
