Cheap flights from Southend to Tenerife

The weeks either side of peak season are where the fares soften, and January is the cheapest month on this route — handy for trading a grey British winter for the island's mild off-season. School holidays and the Christmas push lift demand, as does the destination's own summer. With priced months running from October through September, a price calendar lets you shift your dates a week either way and see what that alone saves.

Both carriers here are Easyjet and EasyJet Europe, and both fly the route nonstop, so no connection question arises on this route. EasyJet Europe operates as the airline's Austrian-registered arm; in practice you are dealing with the same low-cost model either way. What differs between bookings is what the base fare includes: bags and seat choice are add-ons with a low-cost carrier, so the headline fare is only the start of the real total.

Before you land, decide which side of the island you are staying on, because Tenerife Sur and Tenerife Norte are a long way apart and picking the wrong one turns a short arrival into a cross-island transfer. Both airports have regular bus services into town and taxis rank outside arrivals; a hire car makes more sense if you are heading to quieter corners. Check which airport your ticket names before you book accommodation.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Baggage is the usual extra on a low-cost fare, so price a bag into the total before comparing.
• Check whether your ticket departs from or arrives at Tenerife Sur or Tenerife Norte — they serve different parts of the island.
• Southend Municipal is the only airport on the departure side, so there is no second option to mix up, but confirm the terminal anyway.
• January is the cheapest month, so shifting dates into it can cut the fare.
• Book early for school holidays and the Christmas period, when demand is highest.
• Bring the documents Spain requires for entry and check them before you pay.
