Tenerife South Reina Sofía Airport lies on the island's south coast and is used by most international and charter flights. It is close to the big southern resorts, such as Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje, and to the port for ferries to La Gomera and El Hierro.

Practical tips
- Documents: EU citizens only need a valid identity card or passport.
- Aena: almost all Spanish airports are run by Aena; its website offers car parks to book online at lower prices.
- Canary Islands: the islands are outside the EU VAT area, so customs allowances apply to some purchases on the way back.
- Taxis: in cities, fares from the airport are often fixed or include an airport supplement; ask before getting in.
