Flights to Tenerife from the UK
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 vast majority of Tenerife flights from the UK and Ireland are to the south of the island to Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport. For the other resorts in the northern part of the island the flights fly into Tenerife Norte airport.
If you plan to visit the popular holiday resorts of Playa de Las Americas or Los Cristianos for example you would be looking for Tenerife flights to the south of the island, In the north the most popular resort id 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 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.
Your chosen destination in Tenerife will also depend on the availability of flights from your local airport or the airport you wish to fly from. There are considerably less flights travelling to the north of the island from the UK as against the number you will find from most regional airports to the south of the island.
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.
