Warning to Brits travelling to Tenerife over common £124 airport mistake
Share:
A TikToker has issued a travel warning for Brits who are heading to Tenerife so they don't get caught up with a common airport, which could prove expensive. Summeronthegeaux told her thousands of followers that there are two airports in Tenerife on opposite sides of the island. Her warning is to make sure you book the airport closest to your hotel or else it could be costly.
She explains she flew into the airport that was further away from her hotel and the taxi cost her about €150 (£124) for one way. One viewer commented on the video: "Looool just made this and had to pay a 100 for a taxis." Another added: "I’m going next week and it looks like I’m going to have to do this. The bus looks like it takes too long smh.".
Earlier we reported about another warning for Brits flocking to Tenerife this winter. The Canary Island, which is popular for those seeking winter sun, maybe a slice of paradise, but visitors are being urged to stay vigilant. TikTok user @theknightstrider1, who's called Tenerife home for over 10 years, warns a particular problem plagues the island every winter season.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the issue is pickpocketing. Unlike mainland Spain, which quiets down in winter, Tenerife's tourist trade booms, attracting criminal gangs who "fly in" with the sole purpose of thieving from holidaymakers, treating it like a "full-time job".
