Tenerife North Airport is just under seven miles (11 kilometers) northeast of Tenerife city center. Both buses and cars take an efficient and straightforward route to the airport via motorways. Still, buses are allowed to drive in separate lanes and are less affected by traffic when the roads are congested during peak hour. During these busy times in the morning and evening, the bus is the fastest option. It is recommended that all travelers leave 45 to 60 minutes to get to Tenerife North Airport.

How accessible is the route for those with limited mobility?

Some TITSA bus routes are accessible, but it is best to call ahead of time and confirm the accessibility of airport routes. Passengers with limited mobility may be best driving or taking a taxi to the airport as TITSA cannot guarantee all buses are fully accessible. These passengers should also request assistance at the airport ahead of time. Once at the airport, passengers will find meeting points beside the airport's entrances and carparks where they can meet airport staff who will guide them through their check-in process. As well as assisting with luggage, staff can direct passengers to disabled restrooms, elevators or stairs, and ensure passengers board their flight as comfortably as possible. 

Local tips: how to travel to Tenerife North Airport like a local

Locals are familiar with Tenerife's traffic congestion around rush hour and prefer the less stressful option, taking the bus to the airport when they can. Those with limited mobility contact TITSA to confirm the accessibility of bus routes beforehand. If buses are inaccessible, Tenerife locals take a car or taxi to their flight and leave plenty of time to reach their check-in. Locals try to enjoy the journey from Santa Cruz to the airport, as the station is beside the coast and allows any waiting time to be spent with ocean views.
