Gran Canaria Airport Flights & Airlines

Gran Canaria's Airport is a busy airport as you can imagine, serving both international and inter Canary Islands connections. It rarely gets too conjested though, as someone had the foresight to divide the airport into zones, so international flights head for one zone, Binter and Islas inter-Canary Island Connectors head for anotheer zone and so on. The Zones are clearly marketed with lift access to all floors. Zone A is the international/Europe inbound/outbound flights, whislt Zone B is inter-Canary Islands connectors. All of the Canary Islands airports are immaculate - Gran Canaria being no exception with ample nice cafes, car hire booths, cash points, tax free shops and so on scattered about the airport.

Direct flights to Gran Canaria are ample, and include Monarch Airlines who fly from London Luton to Gran Canaria, First Choice who fly direct from Bristol, London Gatwick, Exeter, Belfast, London Gatwick, London Luton, London Stansted, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, and Nottingham East Mids. That gives you a flavour of just how accessible Gran Canaria is from the various airports around the UK and Ireland. Cheap flight choice from Ireland and the UK to Gran Canaria is enormous.

Gran Canaria Ferries/Boat Trips and Canary Islands Hopping

A selection of inter-connecting ferries depart from various locations on Gran Canaria, whisking you off to Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura via the two main ports of Agaete on the north west side of the island, and from Las Palmas the capital. You can also take a ferry from Las Palmas to Cadiz on mainland Spain.

For swift crossings over to Tenerife's capital, Santa Cruz is ideally taken from Agaete as the ferry link only takes around 60 minutes and runs approximately 8 times daily.
