If you are flying in -- hey, welcome to Lanzarote! You've arrived! This airport is small, clean, well organized and quite easy. LEAVING: If you are flying out -- hey, later Lanzarote! You're leaving! (sad) The departures flow is just fine (except RyanAir can't manage ques ever, in any airport!) -- particularly if you are flying with children, you'll be expedited to the family security line. They have something installed that is BRILLIANT -- it's like a little holding pen (that looks like a play area) both at the point where you need to get all your things together and on to the belt and then after when you need to reassemble and get everything back together. GENIUS. I was able to pop my 2 year old into this little play fence (it's very secure) for the 30 seconds it takes to do both sides of the security dance -- and he was mystified by it enough to not care he was actually trapped, and also secure enough that he wasn't trying to put himself on to the conveyer belt. SO SMART. I wish every airport had these in the family line! Probably saves them a lot of headaches too! Also, all the staff was very nice. I guess if you live in the Canaries you are just more cheerful in general, but they were really swell -- even at Security! There is a decent selection of food options (mostly the fast food type variety) and about 12 gates, so not overwhelming. There is a little children's play area in the median just outside the food court near gates 1-2, which was good to burn a little energy before boarding our 4 hour flight back to London. All in all -- very nice experience for an airport, I hope to return someday to lovely Lanzarote and this portal to get you in and out surely does not disappoint! read more

One of the better holiday destination airports, Arrecife Airport on Lanzarote is small and perfectly formed, or at least it seemed that way on the day I visited. Bear in mind that that I was probably departing somewhat later than the usual peak time, so my impressions may be different from yours! The duty free had all the usual suspects and there was another duty free shop further in which focussed on specialities of the Island. Food-wise there was a good selection of eateries and purveyors of sandwiches including the Covent Garden Food Company. Prices were eyewateringly of the 'you're trapped in an airport so pay up' variety with a 75cl bottle of Evian coming in at 3.20 euro. A very modest sandwich came in at just over 5euro. Eek! From check in, through security, then taking the bus from the gate to the plane, everything went smoothly. I've been to so many places where its anything but smooth so we were very happy bunnies with Arrecife Airport. Tip: Wifi is available free of charge providing you agree to answer some marketing questions, or in my case, watch a video advertisement on my phone. Seems like a good idea. Happy holidays! read more

My God is this place busy in the summer months . Not so quiet in the winter months either . Nice little airport. read more

Niedlicher kleiner Flughafen mit 12 übersichtlichen Gates. Alles ist gut in Schuss. Abwicklung immer ohne Probleme. (See photo below) Das Gate bekommt man erst wenige Minuten vor dem Boarding mitgeteilt (muss wirklich schwierig sein so etwas im Voraus zu planen :-)). Also erst mal im Wartesaal direkt hinter dem Security-Check Platz nehmen und hin und wieder auf die Flugtafel schauen bis endlich das Gate angezeigt wird. read more

Pleasant airport on the small island of Lanzarote. On arrival, in my experience, you generally alight onto the tarmac and get bussed to the arrivals area. Passport control is quick and trouble free and in a very short time you're re-united with your bags and out in the sunshine. Departures can have long queues, the flights are virtually all charter flights filled with package holidaymakers so the coaches tend to drop them all off at the same time for their return flight. Security procedures are standard and the same as every airport in the world. Once flight side the airport is fairly typical; Burger King, sandwich outlets, coffee shops, duty free and a few local souvenir outlets. There's a nice outside seating area too where you can enjoy your last couple of hours of Canarian sunshine before your flight home. Unfortunately on my last trip I ended up spending ten hours here before my flight was cancelled and re-scheduled for the next day. Virtually all the day's flights were eventually cancelled and the airport was full to capacity with frustrated passengers. In this respect the airport really failed to communicate with passengers. There were very few announcements and confusion reigned. Whether this was the fault of the airport or the tour operators I'm not sure but the situation was dealt with very poorly. Basically it's a great little airport when things are running smoothly but on this occasion the lack of communication with passengers was very frustrating. read more
