Flights to Tenerife from the UK

By Craig Walker

With two airports to pick from in Tenerife, one in the south of the island and the other in the north the airport you pick to fly into will be driven by the area or resort on the island you have decided 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 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 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.
