With cheap flights to tenerife, getting there is a doddle!

Nowadays numerous cheap flights to tenerife are on offer as the Tenerife flights market is rather competitive.

As the Canary Islands lie in the Atlantic Ocean, flying is the most practical mode of transport

At their nearest point the Islands are only 60 miles from the west coast of Morocco, although Tenerife is a further 100 miles westwards.

They are located 1900 miles approx. from UK and Ireland, which translates into flights of around four hours for most.

Ships do sail for the Islands from West Africa and Spain but are mainly for supplies, however there are a number of cruises that also take in the Canaries en route.

As the main tourist traffic is from the UK and other northern European countries, Tenerife flights are very frequent and very popular.

In my experience, the best way to get cheap flights to tenerife is to book well in advance, and if possible avoid the school holidays.

Summer flights will be more expensive always, but consider flying in the winter months and the prices are slightly cheaper without you having to sacrifice the weather, it's sunny all year round!

The Island has two airports, Reina Sofia serving the South, and Los Rodeos serving the North of the Island.

Reina Sofia is the busier as the south is the main tourist destination, Los Rodeos only has flights to and from the UK and Ireland during the Summer only. In the low season any Tenerife flights to and from Los Rodeos are to other Canary Islands other Spanish hubs.

Reina Sofia airport is one of the busiest in Spain with over 8 million visitors and over 65,000 flights annually.

Unlike most other Spanish airports, it's peak is during the winter months, when tourists from Northern Europe take advantage of the warm Tenerife weather.

Most major airports in The UK and some in Ireland now offer regular Tenerife flights to Reina Sofia airport (TFS) from a number of popular carriers.
