Direct flights to Lanzarote from the UK take around four hours and land at César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (ACE), the island’s main airport for passenger flights. More than 15 UK airports fly direct, and unlike many Mediterranean resorts, Lanzarote has direct flights through the winter as well as in summer. Your options depend on your departure airport, the airline and the time of year.
TravelApp UK is a travel agency that can help you compare flights to Lanzarote and, where available, combine them with a hotel and airport transfer. Deposit and flexible payment options may be available on eligible bookings. To get started, request a quote for your Lanzarote trip with your dates, departure airport and number of passengers.
Direct flights to Lanzarote are operated by Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair, TUI Airways and British Airways. Not every airline flies from every airport, so check which carriers serve the airport nearest to you.

Direct flights also run from Bournemouth (Jet2, Ryanair, TUI Airways), Glasgow Prestwick (Ryanair), Cardiff and Exeter (TUI Airways), and seasonally from London Southend (easyJet). London Heathrow has no direct flights to Lanzarote. Flight times are approximate, and routes, airlines and the days flights operate can change by season.
Most of these routes run through the winter 2026/27 season, which is when Lanzarote is busiest with UK travellers. Many continue into summer 2027, often with fewer flights a week, while a small number of routes are winter only or summer only. Before you book, check that your chosen route operates on your exact dates rather than assuming it flies every day.
Manchester has one of the widest choices of direct flights to Lanzarote, with easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair and TUI Airways all flying the route. Having four airlines lets you compare departure times, baggage allowances and fares more easily. Travellers in the North can compare flights from Manchester for available routes, and the flight takes around 4 hours 15 minutes.
Jet2 and TUI Airways fly direct from Newcastle to Lanzarote, which saves travellers in the North East a trip to Manchester or Leeds Bradford. Fewer airlines fly from Newcastle, so popular dates such as February half term can fill up earlier. Travellers in the North East can compare flights from Newcastle when planning their trip.
London has direct flights to Lanzarote from Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, plus seasonal easyJet flights from Southend. Gatwick has the most airlines, including British Airways, easyJet, Jet2 and TUI Airways, while Stansted is served by Jet2 and Ryanair. Heathrow has no direct Lanzarote flights. Travellers in the South East can compare flights from London across the airports that serve the route.
In the Midlands, flights from Birmingham offer another option, with easyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair flying direct to Lanzarote. The flight takes around 4 hours 10 minutes. East Midlands is also worth comparing, with Jet2, Ryanair and TUI Airways services.
Jet2 and TUI Airways fly direct from Glasgow to Lanzarote, with easyJet adding seasonal flights. Ryanair flies from Glasgow Prestwick, and Edinburgh has easyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair services, so travellers in Scotland have several options to compare. You can compare flights from Glasgow when looking for suitable departure options. Flights from Scotland take around 4 hours 30 minutes.
These departure-airport pages cover wider flight options from each airport, not only Lanzarote.
If you are weighing up two or three airports, ask the team to compare departure airports for your dates.
Lanzarote Airport sits on the east coast, around 5 km from Arrecife, so transfers to the main resorts are short. International flights from the UK use Terminal 1, while Terminal 2 handles flights between the Canary Islands.

Journey times are approximate road times and depend on traffic and the number of hotel stops on a shared shuttle.
Shared shuttle transfers are a lower-cost pre-booked option. They stop at several hotels, which can add time, particularly for Playa Blanca.
Private transfers take you straight to your accommodation. They usually cost more, but for families and groups the price per person can be close to a shuttle.
Taxis wait outside the arrivals hall. With short journeys to Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, they are a practical choice for many travellers.
Public buses are run by IntercityBus Lanzarote. Line 161 links the airport with Puerto del Carmen, Puerto Calero, Yaiza and Playa Blanca every 30 to 60 minutes during the day. Lines 22 and 23 run to Arrecife. See the airport’s bus information for current times, as late-evening services are limited.
If you would like a transfer arranged, ask for available transfer options to be priced with your flight or holiday quote.
A headline flight fare is only part of the cost of a Lanzarote trip. Depending on the airline and fare, hold luggage, seat selection, airport transport and accommodation may all be priced separately. For a week of winter sun with a suitcase each, those extras can make a noticeable difference to the total.
Some travellers prefer to book each part themselves, and that can work well. Others find it easier to explain what they need and see a quote for the whole trip.

ATOL is a UK financial protection scheme run by the Civil Aviation Authority. It protects eligible flight-inclusive holidays and certain flight bookings if the travel company that sold them fails, helping you get a refund or a flight home. It does not automatically cover every standalone flight or hotel booking, and it is not a replacement for travel insurance for delays, illness or cancellations.
If your booking is ATOL protected, you should receive an ATOL Certificate showing the ATOL holder and what is covered. The CAA’s ATOL guidance for consumers explains how the scheme works. Ask the team whether your specific booking is protected before you pay.
If you need somewhere to stay, a flight and hotel combination can be worth comparing against booking separately. You can compare holiday packages to see the types of trips TravelApp offers, or ask the team to price flights and a hotel together in Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise or Playa Blanca.
Compare winter and summer dates. Lanzarote is warm all year, so demand peaks at different times from many Mediterranean destinations. Christmas, New Year, February half term and Easter are among the busiest periods, while some weeks in late spring and autumn can be quieter.
Check school holidays. Fares usually rise around UK school holidays, especially for families travelling together. If you can travel outside them, you may have more choice.
Compare more than one airport. With so many UK airports flying direct, a slightly longer drive could give you a better departure time or fare. Include parking, fuel or train costs when you compare.
Check baggage before comparing fares. A low fare can rise once a suitcase is added. Before you compare totals, check hand luggage rules for each airline and the cost of hold luggage. The best budget airlines for UK travellers can work out differently once extras are included.
Compare flight-only and flight-and-hotel options. If you need a hotel anyway, compare the combined price with booking each part separately.
Confirm the route on your dates. Some routes do not fly every day, and a few run only in one season. Check the schedule before setting your holiday dates.
Be careful with late bookings at busy times. Outside school holidays, last-minute flight deals can sometimes appear. Over Christmas, half term and Easter, waiting is riskier because popular flights can fill up.
Have a few possible dates in mind? Send them to the team and ask which work best for your trip.
The most suitable flight depends on more than price. Your dates, departure airport, baggage, the number of people travelling and where you are staying all affect which option works best. A late arrival is easy if you are staying in Puerto del Carmen, for example, but less convenient if you need a bus to Playa Blanca.
When you send an enquiry with your trip details, include:
Departure airport: Your preferred airport, plus any others you would consider.
Dates: Your outbound and return dates.
Travellers: The number of adults and children, with children’s ages.
Baggage: How many hold bags you need.
Resort: Your preferred resort or accommodation area.
What to quote: Flights only, or flights with hotel and transfer options.
Payment: Whether flexible payment options would be helpful.
If your dates are flexible, say so. Alternative dates or departure airports may offer more suitable options. The team will come back with what is available, and what each quote includes will depend on the options you choose. TravelApp UK is an ATOL holder, and eligible flight bookings receive an ATOL Certificate.
Payment terms vary by booking, so it is worth taking a moment to understand the booking conditions, including how deposits and final payments work. A deposit does not hold an airline fare indefinitely, so confirm the payment dates with the team. For a quick question before sending an enquiry, you can contact the TravelApp team by phone or email.
Ready to compare your options? Send the team your departure airport, dates, number of travellers, baggage needs and preferred resort. TravelApp UK can help you explore available flights and, where offered, hotel and transfer combinations, with ATOL protection on eligible bookings.
Fares and availability change, so a quote reflects the prices on the day it is issued. Payment terms depend on the specific booking. Prefer to talk it through? Call +44 20 3137 0990 or email info@travelapp.co.uk.

The Canary Islands are on the same time as the UK all year, so there is no time difference to plan around.
Lanzarote uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted, but some cash is useful for buses, markets and smaller cafés.
Spanish is the official language. English is widely spoken in the main resorts.
IntercityBus Lanzarote runs buses between Arrecife and the main resorts. Taxis are widely available, and car hire is popular for exploring the island.
Lanzarote is warm all year with little rain, which makes it a popular winter-sun choice. It can be breezy, and evenings in winter are cooler, so pack a light layer.

Allowances differ by airline and fare type. Check cabin and hold luggage limits before you book.
Arrange travel insurance for your trip as soon as you book, so you are covered if plans change before you travel.
Lanzarote is part of Spain. British citizens can visit without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before you arrive and be valid for at least three months after you plan to leave. The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) means you may need to give fingerprints and a photo at the border. Check the latest Spain entry requirements on GOV.UK before you travel, and use the travel documents checklist to prepare.
