Granada's Airport is a quite small one, so there are little chances that you can find a direct flight arriving here. The closest big airports are Malaga and Madrid ones, but you might as well find a flight arriving to Almería or Seville. Below you can find some information on how to arrive to Granada from these cities:
Malaga is fewer than 150 km away from Granada. From the Pablo Picasso Airport you can easily reach the bus an train stations of the city either takin a cab outside the airport (it takes about 20 minutes to reach the city center from the airport, depending on the traffic) or by taking the urban bus number 19, that stops both besides the train station and inside the bus station. This local bus ticket costs around 1 euro, and the trips takes around half an hour.
The bus is the cheapest and fastest way to go from Malaga to Granada. Once in the bus station, find the "Alsina Graells" selling point and buy your ticket there. Usually you can find buses between the two cities every hour. A one-way ticket costs around 9 euro.
