Tenerife Flights from the UK

By Craig Walker

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.

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 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 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 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.

Whatever part of the island you choose there is plenty of accommodation to choose from including villas, self catering apartments and hotels ranging from budget two star properties to the more luxurious five star hotels. - 16492
