Flights to Tenerife are available from a number of UK airports, and it’s best to book as early as possible, especially during peak times. Bob Atkinson, travel expert at Travelsupermarket advises: “If you have few commitments and can go last minute, get an even cheaper package deal or flight/hotel deal by booking a few days or less in advance and reap some serious savings. But remember, if you need set dates to a particular destination you run the risk of no availability if you leave it too late - especially during school holidays.”
