Tenerife is the largest, and most popular, Canary Island. It certainly packs a lot in: family holiday resorts, lush mountain scenery, the historic capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, spectacular mountain hiking opportunities, water sports and surreal volcanic lava landscapes.
There really is something for everyone. And there’s no reason that you shouldn’t be able to grab a cheap flight to enjoy it all.
Let’s show you how.
When to book cheap flights to Tenerife
The first thing to understand is when the peak seasons are in Tenerife.
The peak seasons in Tenerife fall between December to February and May to October. In the former many older tourists fly to the island at a time when there are few families and children to contend with. During the latter period a mixture of families and young revellers head out for their time in the sun.
Things get particularly busy during February when the carnival – second only to Rio de Janeiro’s – packs in some fun and feasting before Lent. There are also music festivals that are popular in June and July: the Santa Blues festival and the Heineken Jazz Festival respectively.
This means that the cheapest flights can usually be found in March, April and November. And what’s more, during this time the resorts are quieter and less crowded but, with its year-round warm weather, you’ll still be able to have your days in the sun.
How to find the best flight deals to Tenerife
It’s not all about the season, however. You can find cheaper flights all year round if you understand a couple of tricks to use when searching on Expedia.

Finally, bear in mind that there are two airports that serve Tenerife – one in the north and one in the south. It’s always worth checking flight prices to both, especially as the island is only 60 miles long.
