Whether you are planning a winter sun escape or a summer holiday, these flights connect you to the unique landscapes of the Canary Islands. Booking in advance or looking for mid-November departures often yields the best value for this popular holiday route.

When departing for your journey to the Canary Islands, most flights to Lanzarote from Belfast operate from Belfast International Airport (BFS). As the primary hub for this route, the airport is well-connected to the city centre via the Airport Express 300 bus service, which runs regularly throughout the day. You will find a range of amenities including retail shops and restaurants to use before boarding.

While George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) also serves the region, travellers should check their booking carefully as Belfast International handles the majority of low-cost carrier traffic for this specific destination. Parking facilities are available at both sites, with long-stay options recommended for those heading off on extended holidays.

Your flight will arrive at César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (ACE). To reach the island capital or nearby resorts, you can use the local bus network located outside the arrivals hall. Lines 22, 23 and 161 connect the airport directly to Arrecife and the main tourist hubs like Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen.

For more flexibility, private hire vehicles and taxis are available at designated ranks outside the terminal. A taxi journey to Arrecife typically takes about 10 minutes. Alternatively, car hire desks are located within the terminal, offering a practical way to explore the island's volcanic interior at your own pace.

Lanzarote is famous for its dramatic geology and the architectural legacy of César Manrique. A visit to Timanfaya National Park is essential to witness the Fire Mountains and geothermal activity. For a unique cultural experience, Jameos del Agua features volcanic caves transformed into a concert hall and garden, home to a rare species of blind albino crabs.

Beyond the coast, you can explore the La Geria wine region, where vines are grown in protected volcanic pits. If you are seeking relaxation, the southern resort of Playa Blanca offers excellent beaches and clear waters suitable for swimming and water sports.
