Tenerife Flights from the UK

By Craig Walker

There are two airports in Tenerife, one in the north of the island and one in the south of the island. The airport you choose will depend on what resort or area of Tenerife 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.

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 best beaches are in the south of the island which is why more families tend to holiday in the south of Tenerife. There is even a man made beach in the south built with sand imported from the Sahara. Flying times for Tenerife flights from the UK vary from around four hours to just over five hours depending on from which airport in the UK you are flying from. Obviously the further north you are flying from the longer the flight will be.

The choice of destination in Tenerife will also depend on the availability of flights from your departure airport. There are a lot less Tenerife flights flying to the north of the island. You will find Tenerife charter flights to Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport in the south of the island from most UK and main European airports.

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. - 16752
