Tenerife Airport Transfers
Tenerife has two airports so if you're travelling independently make sure you
know where you'll be landing. In the vast majority of cases this will be the
modern Tenerife Sur Airport, in the south of the island, which welcomes over
nine million passengers every year.
It is the main arrival point in Tenerife
offering easy access to the main island resorts of Los Cristianos,
Playa de las
Americas and Costa Adeje. It will also be your arrival point if you're staying
on the west coast near Los Gigantes or the smaller resorts to the south.
Tenerife Sur Airport remains open 24 hours a day offering all the services you'd
expect including banks with currency exchange, ATMs, car rental and a helpful
tourist information office.
The older Tenerife Norte Airport is in the north of the island offering easy
access to the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the north's main resort,
Puerto de la Cruz. Most arrivals are internal flights from other Canary Islands
although a few international flights do land here. Currency exchange and car
rental services are available but little else. Tenerife Sur Airport Transfers
