You have a choice of two airports in Tenerife, one in the north of the island and the other at the opposite in the south. The airport you choose will depend on which resort you wish 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.
For the more popular resorts in Tenerife such as Playa de Las Americas or Los Cristianos you should be looking for Tenerife flights that fly into the airport in the south of the island. Puerto de Las Cruz is the most popular destination in the north and obviously is would be better to fly into Tenerife Norte airport.
The resorts in the southern part of Tenerife tend to be more commercialized and as such have more bars, restaurants and nightlife available for you to choose from. This is more apparent in the resort of Playa de Las Americas. In contrast the more mature visitor to Tenerife is more likely to head to the north of the island unless their aim is to get as much sun as possible. The north of the island can get cloudy so is not as popular for those wanting a tan.
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.
