Nice airports in TenerifeThe airports of the largest of all Canary Islands are relatively big and very modern with all amenities of western airports of today without the danger of really getting lost inside. The only thing I haven't spotted there are baggage storage facilities such as lockers. However, provided are public transport with some limitations concerning public holidays and late hours, spacious car parking facilities, and even medical attendance. ( They say that it has become awkward to reach public transport from TFS Reina Sofia, nowadays.) Airport services like transfer to hotels and holiday home in Tenerife:Always book airport transfer with or without shuttles including Tenerife airport taxis and luxury mini buses, in advance. Here, a lovely travel review of our Tenerife transfer, the only long distance airport shuttle travel, I ever did.
Safer and better, definitely, applies to car rental as well as to Tenerife transfer, only when you pre-book. Use car rental Tenerife airports and pre-book on-line to get exactly the car you wanted and in best condition waiting for you.

Tenerife airport travelers in numbers:Figures given of the amount of passengers handled at both airports vary so much over the Internet that you may only wonder and shake your head. Have a look at correct statistics Aena.es and you'll see that all others are highly exaggerated and are in reality way below 10 million per year, combined. Unfortunately, it's not allowed to copy their numbers. What counts is that Tenerife airports are busy, efficient and pleasant and have planned many more improvements until year 2020. Airport flight safety in Tenerife:Tenerife airports are, nowadays, equipped with sophisticated software for weather information and flight safety by a flight security system hosted at Helsinki which coordinates 17 airports within Spain. Los Rodeos is one of the island's airports which also has an emergency army fire unit of 90 professional fire fighters on standby stationed in close vicinity. This is also interesting as Los Rodeos airport has a fatal flight accident history of 2 collided jumbo jets on March 27, 1977 partly due to bad visibility.
Personal experiences TFS and TFN airports:My Spanish friend Gretta experienced an unexpected emergency after an operation when she shouldn't have traveled that early and was attended by a doctor at Reina Sofia at 11 p.m. to her full satisfaction.We were traveling together to the south airport although our travel destinations varied. I may only assume that this service may be equally good for both Tenerife airports. While the southern of the island's airports is usually sunny and bright and will greet you with picture book blue skies and sun bathed, subtropical surroundings the northern one may be different, at times. In fact, you may be met by rain and cool wind at Tenerife north airport and catch up with the Tenerife sun 10 to 15 minutes from there once you enter el Sauzal.
