Did you know that the tiny island of Tenerife has two airports?

Traveling to the beautiful island of Tenerife? It's a paradise for sun-seekers, but here's a travel tip to keep in mind: Tenerife has not one, but two airports – Tenerife North (TFN) and Tenerife South (TFS). While both offer convenient access to the island, it's important to double-check your flight ticket details and arrive at the correct airport to avoid any unexpected detours. Tenerife North primarily serves domestic flights to mainland Spain, while Tenerife South handles international flights to various European countries.

Paying attention to this small detail ensures a smooth start to your Tenerife adventure, allowing you to dive straight into the stunning landscapes and cultural richness that await. Safe travels, and enjoy the wonders of Tenerife!

With a surge of panic, I quickly assessed my options. Fortunately, I had arrived with ample time to spare. I decided to take a taxi to try to get to Tenerife North. In the end, I made it to Tenerife North with moments to spare, thanks to the efficiency of the taxi driver and a help of good fortune. Lesson learned: when travelling back from Tenerife, always double-check your departure airport.
