Not all the inhabitants of the earth can enjoy the sun and the ocean, especially all year round! It is the fact of the year-round sun and the ocean that attracts the island of Tenerife - one of the seven most picturesque Canary Islands. Skillfully lost in the Atlantic Ocean, Tenerife calls to prolong the summer or diversify the winter, and possibly make a romantic marriage proposal. For all these cases, it will probably be difficult to choose the most picturesque place. So, if the desire to bask on one of the Canary Islands is stronger than the fear of the Teide volcano located there, then we will gladly share the secrets of a comfortable flight and passenger nuances on the way to the paradise island of Tenerife! Whatever the desired rest, getting in comfort is sometimes not an easy task.
I would also like to note that many consider the airport the beginning of their vacation. To be more precise, how you will feel upon arrival, this will be your journey. Of course, not everyone believes in these signs, but perhaps it is.
Airport Choice
Yes, yes, quite right, when booking tickets for a flight to the island, you need to consider that the Tenerife airport does not exist on the island in the singular. There are two of them, and they are located in completely different parts of the island. That is why they were given the following names: Tenerife North Airport and Tenerife South. We will talk about both air harbors below.
Thus, choosing the airport of arrival of Tenerife, you need to rely only on the country from which you are departing, if it is not very convenient, then you can change the connection from the place of departure. That is, by adjusting and choosing the airport that you think will be more convenient to get to, you only have to take into account all the nuances of these airports, you can find them in our article. So, for example, flying from Russia or the CIS, you get to the South Airport, located respectively in the southern part of the island. If your location is Europe or the USA, then the Tenerife airport that will receive you will be North. The presence of two airports on the island is not a luxury, but a means of convenience.
South Air Port
Designed to serve a huge number of tourists who want to visit the island, of course, Tenerife Airport, located in the southern part of the island. It is well equipped. The main advantage is the passenger terminal with three levels, which ensures the speed and quality of passenger service. The time before the flight always lasts especially long, here it can be spent with benefit. You can relax in a quiet VIP room, satisfy your hunger and just relax in the atmosphere of a restaurant, cafe or bar. We all bring warm trips from our trips in the form of souvenirs from our trips, for this there is a large number of shops where it is possible to purchase souvenirs as a souvenir, or just go to the hotel. A moment of painful and rather boring waiting for teenagers will be able to brighten up the game rooms, where you can play, run, have a lot of fun, in a word, spend time with maximum benefit for yourself.
Northern Air Port
It is this Tenerife airport that is also called Tenerife Norte. To make it easily recognizable, it has a code that is best known - TFN. This air harbor cannot boast of its outstanding size, like the South, and all because the plans simply did not mean the construction of an airport terminal in this place. It is located not in a very favorable area, does not work at night, but it happens that during the day, but nevertheless it receives passengers at a decent level. It mainly focuses on servicing flights between islands and routes to the continent of Spain, which are very regular. Also, tourists from the United States often fly here.
Yielding to the southern air harbor in size, while not at all inferior in quality of service. There are VIP rooms, cozy cafes, respectable restaurants, in a word, everything is the same, only significantly reduced in size. Once at this airport in the north of the island, you will not find yourself far from civilization, everywhere you will have free Wi-Fi. In general, the northern air port has everything that is needed for passengers on the road for a comfortable flight. The airport terminal is not inferior to its southern counterpart by anything, except, of course, in size. Its obvious drawback is, of course, not a round-the-clock mode, which in itself does not complicate the rest, but makes you once again think about the junction of airplanes and other transport that takes from the airport to the hotel.
Road to the airport
Most likely, the most urgent question that appears in the head of tourists after booking tickets for an airplane and hotel on the island is probably the following: "How to get to Tenerife Airport?" And this is quite reasonable, I want to experience three things at this moment: comfort, speed, and cost savings. Since this airport is much larger than the north, respectively, there are more transport options to get to it. It has a very good location - just 60 km from the island's capital - Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and only 20 km from the resort of Playa de las Americas. That is, on the road you can have time to see many attractions.
If speed is your priority, then a taxi is the best option. A trip to Playa de las Americas, for example, will cost you around 30-35 EUR, if you get to Los Gigantes - 65 EUR, the road to Puerto de la Cruz is already more expensive - 110 EUR, and to the North Airport less cost is 90 EUR. Taxi tariffs are the same, and payment for them always takes place strictly according to the counter: from the calculation - 1 kilometer trip, which starts and ends at the airport - 1.70 EUR, although a trip around the city inside the resort will cost half as much. But it is worth remembering that in the evening from 22:00 the cost of a taxi is about 20-25% higher, which is very logical, demand in this period of time increases significantly. The main thing is not to forget about it in a relaxed state by the ocean. There is no need to pre-order a taxi either; the South Airborne always has free cars waiting for tourists. In turn, you can get from the South Airport by regular bus, this is a very economical option if you do not need speed, and you enjoy the journey and the road.
How to get from the airport?
So, you can get from this place thanks to the bus service, this is an economical option. If comfort does not play a big role for you. The following routes go to the city: Nos. 111, 343 and 450. Usually the fare in them is about four euros, and the journey time is about 45 minutes. Arriving at any of these airports, you don’t have to be nervous, because there is a scoreboard with online broadcasting at the Tenerife airport, and you can find out about the changes, if any, in advance.
