About this route
London to Tenerife flights
Most London to Tenerife flights depart from Gatwick Airport between 6am and 4pm. Popular morning departures around 9am arrive in Tenerife around 1:30pm local time. Afternoon flights leaving at 2pm land around 6:30pm Tenerife time. The one-hour time difference means your family member gains an hour on arrival.
Gatwick's South Terminal handles most Tenerife flights. The airport gets busy during peak holiday seasons, especially November through March when families escape to warmer weather. Security queues can add 30-45 minutes to departure times during school holidays. Tenerife South Airport serves this route and sits about 20 minutes from popular resort areas like Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas.
The timezone difference creates confusion for pickup arrangements and dinner plans. A 2pm London departure becomes a 6:30pm Tenerife arrival, but family members often forget the time change when planning airport transfers. This one-hour shift affects everything from meal times to hotel check-ins. Parents tracking teenage children find the time difference tricky when calculating actual arrival times.
Flight delays happen frequently on this route during winter months due to weather at both airports. Fog at Gatwick can push departures back by hours. Strong winds in Tenerife sometimes force planes to circle before landing. Services like SkyText send automatic updates about these delays, so you know exactly when to expect your family member. Real-time alerts help you adjust pickup times and avoid long waits at the airport.
