On this page we list websites which contain information about Tenerife - how to get there and what  to do on your holiday.
Travel to Tenerife:

There are, of course, lots of charter airlines which fly to Tenerife from many British airports.  The best way to book is to contact a travel agent and get the best available "flight only" deal.  Be sure to inform the airline directly if you have a disability which will require you to have special assistance (as well as telling the travel agent).  The majority of charter flights to Tenerife from the United Kingdom are on Fridays with smaller numbers on Tuesdays and Sundays.
The following is a list of scheduled airlines which have regular flights between the United Kingdom and Tenerife; this will give you more flexibility as you can book one-way with these airlines - mix´n´match to get the cheapest round-trip!  Flights from larger airports are daily or almost every day of the week; from regional airports at least one day a week (but from the very smallest airports may be peak season only, i.e. Winter & major holidays).  You can book flights on their website but some airlines also require you to contact them separately with details of your disability.
  1. British Airways Fly from Gatwick daily and Manchester 2-3 days a week.
  2. Globespan Flights from Glasgow daily and Aberdeen, Durham/Tees Valley & Edinburgh 1-2 days a week.
  3. Monarch Airlines From Luton, Birmingham & Manchester daily and Gatwick 4 days a week.
  4. Aer Lingus Three days a week from Dublin and (Winter only) once a week from Cork.
  5. Jet2.com Two flights a week from Belfast, Leeds-Bradford, Manchester & Newcastle-upon-Tyne; Winter only - 2 flights a week from Blackpool.
  6. Ryanair  Flights from Dublin, Shannon, Liverpool and East Midlands - contact Ryanair for frequencies.  'Phone numbers:  Ireland: 0818 30 30 30;  UK: 0871 246 0000.
  7. Thomsonfly.com From about 20 airports all over the United Kingdom!  High Frequency (3 or more flights a week) from Luton, Gatwick, Birmingham, Doncaster, Manchester & Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

 Important note: Thomsonfly also fly to Tenerife North airport from Manchester and Gatwick.  These flights are suitable if you're going to Puerto de la Cruz or another Northern resort but, if you're going to a Southern resort (Los Cristianos, Playa de Las Americas, Los Gigantes, etc.), arriving there would result in a long, expensive taxi ride to your resort!
