Cheap flights from Nottingham to Tenerife

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the island's mild winter is exactly why the season works in your favour. Fares are shown from October through to August, and the pricier stretches tend to line up with school holidays and the Christmas break. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Saturday flights, and booking a couple of months ahead gives you more choice of departure days than a last-minute search does.

What you feel first is baggage. Ryanair sells the lowest base fares but charges for anything beyond a small cabin bag, while Jet2 and TUI Airways include a checked allowance, which makes them less nerve-racking for a beach holiday with a big suitcase. Aer Lingus routes you through Dublin rather than flying nonstop, so it suits travellers who don't mind a connection. TUI and Jet2 operate the package-holiday style departures from East Midlands, and Ryanair covers the low-cost end of the same airport pair.

Tenerife Sur is the larger of the two airports and handles most of the holiday traffic, so expect busy arrivals halls and a transfer of roughly an hour by bus or hired car to the main resort areas in the south. Tenerife Norte sits closer to Santa Cruz and serves more of the island's domestic and regional traffic, which usually means shorter queues. Check which airport your ticket shows, because the wrong one adds a long drive across the island to your day.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Work out whether a checked bag is worth paying for with Ryanair or already included on Jet2 and TUI Airways.
• Confirm whether you fly from East Midlands only, since Nottingham itself has no commercial airport.
• If you book Aer Lingus, leave enough connection time in Dublin for a separately ticketed onward flight.
• Check passport validity rules for travel to Spain before you pay.
• Compare November against the school-holiday months, since the same week can shift the fare considerably.
• Check which of the two Tenerife airports your arrival uses before arranging a transfer.
