How to get from South and North Tenerife Airport to Las Americas?

There are two airports on the island: northern (TFN) and southern (TFS). The southern airport is larger. All direct flights from Russia arrive there. The northern airport mainly takes flights from southern Europe, Africa, as well as intra-Canary flights. The distance between the two airports is 66 km. The southern airport was opened on November 6, 1978. Until that moment, there had been only one airport on the island – the northern one, but due to frequent adverse weather conditions in the north, it was decided to build a new, additional airport. Read how to get from these airports to the main resort of Las Americas below.
