Flights to Tenerife 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.

The majority of Tenerife flights from the United Kingdom fly to Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport which is located in the south of the island. If your chosen resort is in the northern part of the island you should select Tenerife Norte airport.

For the more popular resorts in Tenerife such as Playa de Las Americas or Los Cristianos you should be looking for Tenerife flights that fly into the airport in the south of the island. Puerto de Las Cruz is the most popular destination in the north and obviously is would be better to fly into Tenerife Norte airport.

The resorts in the southern part of Tenerife tend to be more commercialized and as such have more bars, restaurants and nightlife available for you to choose from. This is more apparent in the resort of Playa de Las Americas. In contrast the more mature visitor to Tenerife is more likely to head to the north of the island unless their aim is to get as much sun as possible. The north of the island can get cloudy so is not as popular for those wanting a tan.

The south of Tenerife has better beaches than the ones in the north of the island which is another reason families prefer to travel to the south of the island. Here there is even an artificial beach built with sand from the Sahara. Flying times from the UK for Tenerife flights vary from four to just over five hours depending on which part of the UK you are flying from.

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.

Tenerife has a massive range and choice of properties so no matter what part of the island you pick you are sure to find a great range of properties from villas, self catering apartments to five star hotels.
