Tenerife Renia Sofia Airport (TFS)

I've recently returned from a fab holiday to Tenerife and of course this meant I had to travel through the airport (unless I decided to swim which I really didn't fancy!) So.. Arrivals.. Tenerife South airport (TFS) is not a huge airport, I would say perfectly adequate for the tourist market but it's no Schipol or Heathrow! This does have it's advantages. The time from landing to being out the airport is relatively quick and you're unlikely to get lost in it! I have been to Tenerife many times, sometimes you will be attached to an airbridge, others you will park up (Do you park a plane?!) on the tarmac and be bussed to the terminal ...  Read the complete review

As mentioned in my previous review I spent the week in Tenerife recently. As with many people I flew to the southern airport. Since this is a newer building designed to carry large numbers of international passengers whereas the airport in the North was desgined for fewer passengers, it should preform this function very well. Your first view of the airport is likely to be as you come in to land, you will see a long low building which runs parrellel to the runway with carparks and the motorway beyond it. As you land its worth noting that the landing is likely to be noisy and quite rough as the run way is quite short meaning your pilot ...  Read the complete review

This is just a short review about my recent travel through Tenerife Sur Airport and my experiences. I travelled from Belfast Int. to Tenerife Sur. From UK: The airport is situated right on the coast as this is basically the only flat land on Tenerife! The plane once landed was directed to park on the tarmac quickly about 500m from the airport. We left the plane down a flight of steps onto the runway and were packed onto buses and taking a short 1 min ride to the airport. The buses were packed but I wasn't complaining after sitting on a plane for nearly 5 hrs! The arrivals building appeared to be quite new and after flashing our passports ...  Read the complete review

YAWN ... sorry that this one is going to be a bit on the short side, but I'm at the very end of a third day with virtually no sleep after a week's holiday on the island paradise of Tenerife, so I'll have to stick to the knitting... Me and Mrs D managed to get a cheapo holiday near Playa de las Americas recently via Internet booking, and were delighted to find that Spain's Air Europea were running flights from Blackpool airport which is only about 10 minutes up t'road from our Kirkham home ... what a glorious surprise! We were flying into (and then out of, obviously, a week later) the Renia Sofia Airport, which is about thirty ...  Read the complete review

It has recently come to my attention that there are two types of airports out there. There are nice, large international ones like, say, Manchester or LAX, which served numerous destinations worldwide and which have more shops and restaurants than some town centres. And then, there are the others which, well, don’t. These others are often in the type of resorts tourist go on package holidays, and since they are usually barely used by business travelers, they seem to forget their duty as airports (to keep me busy in the 2 hours between check in and take off) and see themselves solely as big fields where the odd aeroplane lands and takes off.
