By Airport Transfer
Booking an Airport Transfer offers you the convenience of being dropped off directly at your Hotel for a lot less than the price of a taxi (€6 per person) and means you can forego the hassle of lugging your suitcases from the bus stop. Larger groups can book a mini van or private bus – a more economical option than booking several taxis. Note that you cannot buy a ticket for a transfer upon arrival at the airport, so you must book your transfer in advance.

By Car
From the airport, follow the LZ-2 south, signposted Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca. Follow the LZ-2 as you pass the signs for Puerto del Carmen and on through Tias, Mácher, Uga, passing around the outskirts of Yaiza and finally into Playa Blanca.
NB: Just after the turn-off for Tías, the road will split into two, move over into the left hand lane, signposted for Yaiza. If you stay in the right hand lane, the road will fork off the LZ-2 taking you to Conil and La Geria via the LZ-501.
The journey should take around 40 minutes.

By Bus
There is a regular bus service between the airport and Playa Blanca. This is bus route 161 / 261, click here for the timetable. Between Monday and Friday, buses run from the airport every 30 minutes from 7.30am to 10.30pm. There are however, fewer buses during the weekend and public holidays, so do check the timetable. The journey takes about an hour.
By Taxi
There are plenty of taxis available at the airport. It costs around €50, but this varies depending on where in Playa Blanca you are staying. This is the most expensive option.

Hello.We are travelling to playa Blanca (a villa near C Irelanda junction c Austria ) . Travelling on a Sunday and was looking to get the 1600hrs linea 161 bus to playa Blanca.
We would have to get a taxi from the playa Blanca bus station as it looks to far to walk to villa.
Are there taxis at the bus station on a Sunday??
Thanks
administrator
Hi, There is a taxi rank right outside the bus station, however I cannot say whether there will be taxis waiting there on a Sunday. However, the main taxi rank is only 400m away in the centre of town. Also, the number 30 bus circular route runs every 30 minutes and would take you down to Faro Park.

How long does the airport transfer bus (not public bus) take from the airport to Playa Blanca (Flamingo Beach) on weekday evenings, and what time would it leave the airport for a 18:10 landing time pickup?
administrator
Hi, The departure time would depend on how many other people are booked on the transfer, so it’s hard to say. I’m not sure of the exact time journey time, since it would depend again on how many other people are booked and where they are staying. I’d guess 60 – 70 mins total.

Will buses except a folding bike underneath the bus
administrator
Hi, Yes, as far as I know, you can place a fold-up bike in the baggage hold on the bus.

Can you please tell me if it is possible to get a bus from airport to Sandos Atlantic gardens resort. What is the bus number and cost please. Is there a bus map available
administrator
Hi, There is no direct bus to that resort. You could get the 161 from the Airport to Playa Blanca Bus Station, and then take a taxi from there to the hotel. There is a local bus in Playa Blanca (no.30), but it doesn’t stop very close to that resort, so a local taxi from Playa Blanca Bus Station is probably best for you.

My flight is due in at 22.05 on the 3rd June 2024. Are there any buses to take me to playa blanca at that time
administrator
Sorry for the late reply – yes, the last bus is the 61 at 22:30, however you might not have enough time to get through immigration /baggage reclaim, so a transfer is probably a better bet.

Hi, if we book a bus transfer from the airport to Playa Blanca for 28 Jan at about 1330 what is the maximum wait time going to be at the airport or do we just have to wait until the bus is full?
Regards
Tim
administrator
Hi, The transfer buses generally set off when all of the booked passengers are onboard. Obviously, if there is a serious delay with an arriving plane, they will not wait, and will instead assign another bus to those passengers.
