Booking your own flights to Tenerife, the largest and most popular of the Canary Islands, is an easy way to get the best possible prices on flights. While it is sometime possible to get cheap flights as part of a package holiday, a person can often do better by booking their flight and accommodation separately using the Internet to find the best prices on each.
While booking your own flights to Tenerife requires some coordination with booking a hotel, a few hour wait at the airport before being able to check in could result in your saving a great deal of money by taking an early morning flight. Most of Tenerife’s resort areas are located on the southern half of the island so you will likely be booking flights to Tenerife that arrive at the Tenerife South Airport also known as Reina Sofia Airport. The Tenerife South Airport is the busier of the island’s two airports, over 7 million travelers passed through the airport in 2010.
Flights to Tenerife from Birmingham, London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester are easy to find online from discount carriers. By comparing prices you should be able to get a cheap flight leaving from the airport of your choice and still have enough money left to splurge on a nice hotel or apartment near the beach.
