Warning to Brits travelling to Tenerife over common mistake which can cost £124

A woman travelling to Tenerife has urged others not to make a common mistake which could cost them a fortune. Calling herself Summer, she visited the Canary Isles and did not check the proximity of her accommodation with the airport and ended shelling out a lot of money in taxi fares before her sunshine holiday even started. Her faux pas meant long taxi ride to get to another side of Tenerife where her holiday was booked.
The TikTok user, @summeronthegeaux, warned others not to make the same costly mistake as she did. Her flight flew into one part of the island but her accommodation was on the other side of the island. She said: "If you ever go to Tenerife in the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria) you need to know that there are 2 airports one in the north and one in the south. Even though I knew there were two airports,. The mistake I made is I didn't check which airport was closer to where I was staying, So if yiu are going there make sure you know the airport which is close to where you're staying and then land in that airport.
"I unfortunately was staying in the south and then landed in the north and a taxi all the way cost me about 150 euros. There are no Ubers by the way so don't make the mistake I did, you don't want to spend 150 dollars on a taxi". One commenter on her video said: "What we did, since our hotel was in the south as well. We took the bus as close as we could and then the taxi and overall it was quite cheap.".
