Your flight to Tenerife and back is probably the most crucial of the entire trip. If you’re coming from abroad you’ve already been traveling for a long time if Tenerife is your only destination; you want a quick, trouble-free flight so you can check into your lodgings and start to enjoy your vacation!
The least expensive flights are those to South Tenerife, the airport in Santa Cruz. This is the main travel hub and a good place to enter and leave through, especially if the southern coast will be your main focus. Los Rodeos is the north airport, located 11 miles from Santa Cruz.
You’ll get the best bargains if you avoid the peak tourist season during the months of May through August. You’ll avoid the summer heat, too, in favor of the milder temperatures of the off season. Another way to save money is to book your flight and your hotel together and even include a rental car so everything is taken care of.
Some airlines that fly into Tenerife are First Choice, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Jet2 and GB Airways. If you can be flexible with your dates you’ll be able to pare down your expenses further and have even more funds for fun!
You might consider flying in from Madrid or Barcelona after spending a day and night there. The sights in both cities are fantastic and having a good night’s sleep under your belt will make your first day in Tenerife a wide-awake one to remember!
