With two airports to pick from in Tenerife, one in the south of the island and the other in the north the airport you pick to fly into will be driven by the area or resort on the island you have decided to stay in.
Most Tenerife flights from the UK fly into Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport in the south of the island. If you wish to travel to the north of the island you would select Tenerife Norte airport.
If you were travelling to the popular holiday destinations such as Playa de Las Americas or Los Cristianos your Tenerife flight would be into Tenerife south airport. The most popular holiday destination in the north of the island is Puerto de la Cruz.
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.
The choice of destination in Tenerife will also depend on the availability of flights from your departure airport. There are a lot less Tenerife flights flying to the north of the island. You will find Tenerife charter flights to Tenerife Sur Reina Sofia Airport in the south of the island from most UK and main European airports.
There should be no problem for you finding a great range of accommodation whatever part of the island you pick. There are villas, self catering apartments and hotels ranging from two to five star properties all over the island.
