Tenerife Flights from the UK

You have a choice of two airports in Tenerife, one in the north of the island and the other at the opposite in the south. The airport you choose will depend on which resort you wish to stay in.

Most Tenerife flights from the UK fly into Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport in the south of the island. If you wish to travel to the north of the island you would select Tenerife Norte airport.

If you were travelling to the popular holiday destinations such as Playa de Las Americas or Los Cristianos your Tenerife flight would be into Tenerife south airport. The most popular holiday destination in the north of the island is Puerto de la Cruz.

The south of Tenerife is much more commercialised and has lots of bars, restaurants and nightlife especially in parts of Playa de Las Americas. The north of the island in Puerto de La Cruz attracts a more mature guest. The weather in the north can also be a bit more changeable and can become cloudy. This has resulted in the popularity of the south of the island to attract the sun worshipers from all over the UK and Europe.

The beaches in the south of the island are better than the ones in the north which is yet another reason why families choose to visit the resorts in the south of the island rather than the north. In the south of the island there is even a man made beach built with sand imported from the Sahara. Tenerife flights flying times vary from the UK depending on what part you are flying from, the average flight times vary between four to just over five hours.

The destination you pick in Tenerife will depend on the availability of flights to your chosen part of Tenerife. There are lots more flights available from airports all over the UK and Ireland to Tenerife South airport than the airport in the north of the Island. In fact you are more likely to find more than one Tenerife flight into the south of the island than one to the north such id the difference in popularity of the south of the island.

There should be no problem for you finding a great range of accommodation whatever part of the island you pick. There are villas, self catering apartments and hotels ranging from two to five star properties all over the island.
