Had a great holiday to Lanzarote this year, and like the previous reviews, yes Thursday is the busiest day. They are well prepared for this. The baggage was quickly on the caraousel, much quicker than Manchester Intl.

Once outside had to wait about 15 mins for a taxi to Costa Teguise, this cost 18 euro. An orderly queue had formed and everyone just waited their turn, no problems.

In my opinion Lanzarote Airport is great. Why you may think? Well I am a smoker and unlike every other airport I have visited, you can smoke in designated areas. Once you have checked in on the ground floor there is a cafe etc, sit outside and enjoy the sunshine, have a drink and ciggy. Great.

Then to my great surprise once upstairs there is a fabulous outside viewing area where you can sit or stand and watch the planes, yes and have another ciggy.

You feel you can just cope with the 4.30 hour flight home, and a long wait at Manchester airport before having another ciggy!

Anyway apart from all that, the airport was clean and airy. Cool inside, polite staff. The cafe was expensive but we have to accept that.
So for all you smokers out there, Lanzarote is a good airport!!
