The Capital Arrecife is where the main airport is located and this in turn feeds the main tourist destinations of Puerto Del Carmen, Playa Honda, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca – all a maximum of 20 to 30 minutes by road.

In contrast to the other canarian islands, Lanzarote is a lot flatter around the tourist resorts and hence is a popular destination for athletes and those looking to train for stamina events such as triathalons and iron man competitions. Its moon like protected parks are a sight to behold and are like nothing else on earth. Lanzarote also is home to some very pleasant and increasingly popular regions such as the fish restaurants at El Golfo and the “millionaires playground” at Puerto Calero.

Perhaps the most frequent airlines that service Spain are Ryanair, EasyJet, Monarch, Thompson Fly and ThomasCook. The latter two also provide package holidays to spain as well.

Do note that although many of the airlines noted above provide a service from most of these airports, their schedules can be seasonal and operate sometimes only 1 flight per week. In order to get the best deals its advised to be flexible with your dates if possible and consider alternate airports. Also, as is becoming more frequent these days, the add-on costs as you go through the booking process can sometimes add up to more than the basic flight itself. An example of this is Monarch airlines who mandatorily force you into paying to allocate yourself a seat. For a single person just making your seat allocation can add up to £50 onto the flight cost, so do be aware.
