Closer Than You Think
Tenerife is very close to mainland Spain and Europe, with flight times as little as two-to-four hours from major European destinations such as Madrid (hourly flights), Barcelona, London, Zurich, Amsterdam, Dublin, or Paris (daily flights). Average flight time from the U.S. or Canada connecting to Tenerife from a European gateway is 11 hours.
To search for Tenerife's two airports, enter code TCI. The specific codes for each are TFN for Airport Tenerife North (the hub for flights from Spain and Heathrow, London); TFS for Airport Tenerife South (serving other flights from the U.K. and Europe). Be sure to pay attention to the start and end of your itinerary so you know whether to fly into TFN or TFS. The two airports are about 1.5 hours apart driving.
