Travel and local information
Flying to Tenerife
There are two airports on the island of Tenerife, one on the north side (Tenerife Norte, TFN, also known as Aeropuerto de Los Rodeos) and the other one on the south of the island (Tenerife Sur, TFS, also known as Aeropuerto Reina Sofía). Both airports are at about 2.5 hours flying time from Madrid, and about 3 hours from Barcelona. TFN handles mostly inter-island and domestic flights, with several daily connections to Madrid and Barcelona. If you connect there you may fly to TFN. TFS handles mainly tourist and low-cost flights, offering a large number of direct connections to many airports across Europe. TFS is the airport closest to the venue, and we recommend that participants choose flight connections that arrive at this airport, if possible.
