Cheap flights from Cork to Tenerife

November is the cheapest month on this route, and it falls outside the Canary Islands' peak winter escape season, so it is worth checking first. Prices are shown for October through June and August, which lets you compare the shoulder months against the island's summer. Expect fares to firm up around Christmas and the school holidays, when flights south from Ireland fill quickly, and book those dates further ahead.

The difference you feel first is price versus included extras: Ryanair keeps the fare low and charges separately for baggage and seat choice, while Aer Lingus and the full-service carriers fold more into the ticket. Nonstop options operate on this route, so you can skip the connection if the date suits. Air France, HOP!, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Emerald Airlines, Lufthansa and Edelweiss Air all connect through their own hubs instead, trading time for sometimes lower fares.

Before you land, decide which airport you need: Tenerife Sur handles most holiday traffic, while Tenerife Norte sits closer to Santa Cruz and serves more mainland Spanish routes. Both lie outside the main resort areas, so allow real transfer time rather than assuming a short hop. Buses run from each airport towards the island's towns, and taxis and rental cars are available at arrivals, though queues can build when several flights land together.
