Arriving at Lanzarote Airport late at night

Late arrivals at Lanzarote Airport need a plan, because bus times end earlier than many flights land. This page sets out what the airport publishes.

The bus

The airport page lists line 22 to Arrecife on weekdays and line 23 at weekends. For line 22 the listed times run from about 5:30 to 23:00 in one direction and from about 5:45 to 23:15 in the other, roughly every 40 to 50 minutes. Line 23 is listed from 7:00 to 22:00 and from 7:17 to 22:17, roughly hourly. For the south, line 161 is listed from 7:30 to 21:30 towards Playa Blanca and from 8:25 to 21:25 towards the airport. Line 61 has a single listed departure at 22:30 from Terminal 1 to the Playa Blanca pier, and line 162 is listed with departures towards Playa Blanca at 23:16 and 00:16 from Terminal 1 (23:17 and 00:17 from Terminal 2). Confirm days of operation on the airport page.

The taxi

Taxis leave from the rank in the terminal. The airport lists a night rate, Fare 2, from 22:00 to 6:00, and on Sundays and holidays: minimum charge EUR 4.25 and EUR 1.55 per km, plus a EUR 2.10 supplement for a service to or from the airport. The page does not state how many taxis wait overnight, so allow time in case there is a queue. Ask for a bill if you need to complain.

Pre-booked transfer

A transfer gives you a confirmed price before you fly. The live price for your route is shown on this page. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver waits as stated in the confirmation. Check how delays are handled when you book, and keep the contact number from your confirmation within reach.

Distances to plan for

Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen and San Bartolome are each about 7 km (17 minutes). Costa Teguise is about 18 km (28 minutes), Tinajo 19 km (29 minutes), Playa Blanca 23 km (33 minutes) and Haria 35 km (45 minutes). These are route estimates, not live.

Practical tips

• Save your accommodation address on your phone.
• Ask your accommodation about late check-in before you fly.
• Charge your phone and carry some water.
• Use the taxi rank in the terminal and avoid drivers who approach you elsewhere.
• If your accommodation is in Haria or Tinajo, tell the host your expected arrival time, since the road journey alone takes 45 and 29 minutes.
• The airport lists Terminal 1 arrivals hall as its meeting point if you need to find someone.
