Arriving at La Palma Airport Late at Night

We did not find the airport's own opening hours, so check your flight status with your airline. What Aena does publish helps you plan the road.

Bus line 500

Aena lists line 500, Santa Cruz de La Palma, Los Cancajos and the airport. Hours listed: Monday to Saturday on working days from 7:15 to 22:45, and Sundays and public holidays from 7:45 to 22:45. Call 922 411 924 or 922 414 441 to ask for the timetable that fits your landing time. If your flight is delayed, you may miss the last departure.

Taxis

Aena tells passengers to take a taxi only from the marked stop at the passenger terminal and to ask for a receipt. Tariff 2 applies from 22:00 to 6:00, and on Sundays and public holidays: minimum fare 4.25 EUR, 1.55 EUR per km, and a 2.10 EUR supplement for journeys starting or ending at an airport or port. The tariffs are those in force under the Canary Islands official bulletin no. 59 of 24 March 2023, so ask the driver to confirm the rate. Information numbers: Villa de Mazo (+34) 922 440 078 and Breña Baja (+34) 922 440 825.

Pre-booked transfers

Give your flight number and address when you book, and check the booking confirmation for the meeting point and for how delays are handled. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated there.

Distances from the airport

Estimates from our route database, not live figures: Santa Cruz de La Palma about 13 km (18 minutes), Villa de Mazo about 13 km (19 minutes), Fuencaliente about 21 km (26 minutes), El Paso about 26 km (34 minutes), Los Llanos de Aridane about 39 km (47 minutes), Tazacorte about 39 km (52 minutes), Barlovento about 46 km (58 minutes).

Before you fly

Save your booking confirmation and your accommodation address where you can open them without a data connection, and tell your accommodation your flight number and expected arrival time.

The bottom line

At night, avoid plans that rely on a bus timetable you have not confirmed. A taxi from the marked stop or a confirmed pre-booked transfer is the calmer choice.
