Tips for travelers at FUE
The airport sits about 5 km from Puerto del Rosario's town center, so you're never far. Taxis are the easiest option and won't break the bank for short distances. If you're renting a car — which I'd recommend for exploring the island properly — pick-up is straightforward right at arrivals. Summer gets busy, especially on UK and German routes, so book early if you're flying July or August. Winter is peak season here thanks to the climate, meaning flights fill up fast from November through February. Arrive with time to spare during those months.
