Tactics: Cheap Flight To Canary Island
There are a number of options available which can help you save money on air travel. Read through this information to find out more about courier flights, charter flights, and other booking information for cheap flights.
Try to buy your ticket about 2-3 weeks ahead.
Be as flexible as possible and check if flying on a different day is cheaper. For example Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are low-demand days for flying, and airfares tend to be cheaper, as are late evening flights or early mornings. Sometimes staying over on a Saturday night also results in cheaper fares.
Try to travel in off-season periods
Check the fare prices at different airports in the cities of your departure and destination
Save airline discount coupons, check newspapers for promotional fares (restrictions may apply).
Don’t book directly with the airline. Visit their websites and sign up for newsletters. Airlines can make last minute discounts via email or on their website.
Travel agents are useful but are not always the cheapest option. Keep notes on flight prices so you can compare your options.
After you buy your ticket keep checking prices. Some airlines will refund the difference if discounts are made.
Many airlines offer “compassion fares” if there has been a death or serious family illness. These are about 50-70% off the usual fares. Ask what kind of documentation is needed.
Return tickets are usually cheaper and are a good defence against immigration officials who want to be assured that you are going to leave the country. Get a ticket with an airline that allows you to make changes to the ticket without any problems. If you are working or studying for more than one year you may wish to get a one-way ticket (if you are in Europe you can utilise the cheap tickets out of London to come home).
More about travelling by cheap flight
If you are going to a country lying in the distant part of the world from your home, you are most like to take plane, if your trip is not sea cruise. Plane is the fastest and the easiest way to reach your point of destination, but sometimes not the cheapest one. If you are traveling within your country borders or your way leads to the neighboring country, usually you have a choice of transport means C train, bus, plane C or even car. However, if you are to make several thousands of miles C it will be much more convenient to take plane, especially if you are short in time.
Traveling by air is the most frightening way of traveling. Millions of people all over the world are afraid of flying! Even some sportsmen, who are supposed to be brave, prefer to make long passages in bus, than to spend several hours in the air. Nowadays there exist a lot of physiological groups to defeat the fear of flights.
This fear has its reasons C planes really fall down. But C the trains and buses also crash and the ships sink sometimes. So, it cannot be said that the plane is less safe than any other means of transport. However concord flights, after several accidents considered not safe, were abolished.
Several advises before taking the plane:
1) Take some pillows which can help you to avoid feeling seek.
2) Take some books or magazines to entertain you.
3) When you register your luggage C dont forget to notice that its leading to the same airport as you. Sometimes it can fly to the other part of world and it will be very difficult to find.
Several advises during the flight:
1) If you can sleep in a plane C you are lucky. It is the best way to spend your flight.
2) Dont drink too much alcohol C or you will feel seek no matter having you take pillows or not.
3) If you are still nervous, take some relaxants or soporific.
The existence and the amount of the food on board depend on the length of your flight and the air company you are traveling with. Sometimes during the flight you can not only eat or drink, you can also buy some goods duty free. Prices are mostly the same as in the airport duty free shops, but the choice can be more limited.
When you are leaving or arriving the country, you have to spend some time (usually quite a long time) in the airport. Be ready and prepare some patience C long queries and crowds of people arriving and departing are almost in every airport. Remember that the registration usually begins two hours before departure time. If you are coming half an hour before your flight, there is a risk that you will miss it.
To travel abroad you need your foreign passport and sometimes visa. In some countries they stamp their visa in the airport. For example, in Egypt this procedure is quite simple. Anyway, have all the necessary documents with you.
Traveling by air is very convenient and there still some places on earth you cant reach in other way. So, dont exclude this comfort because of the baseless fear.
Here we are in Easter Week and already, our visitors have shown that they are beginning to think of Christmas 2006 in the Canary Islands. Of course, one has to make travel plans in advance, so here are some ideas for you:
Christmas week is said to be the busiest week of the entire year for tourism in Tenerife. As Christmas Day 2006 will fall on a Monday, the busiest day for arrivals at the airport is likely to be the Friday, December 22nd, with a few more coming on Sunday, December 24th.
Traditional Christmas, Only Warmer ... and Someone Else Cooks!
If what you want is a British-style Christmas - turkey and stuffing - with added sun, then you can have that. Many of the British bars in the resorts put on a Christmas Lunch. Better ones may require reservations, so make that a priority on the night you arrive. With satellite TV available almost everywhere, you can probably still catch the Queen's Speech too.
If, for a change, you want to catch the King of Spain's Christmas Message, first you'll need to understand Spanish, of course, but that is broadcast on Christmas Eve. If you follow the religious traditions, check out the church in Los Cristianos to see if they have a multilingual carol service on Christmas Eve, as they have been known to do in the past. It's fun.
Prices for Christmas week itself are at a premium, of course, but that is probably offset by the fact that you don't need to worry about Christmas food, gifts and decorations at home and, it's probably worth it just to have someone else cook the Christmas Dinner!
If you fall asleep on the beach after your Christmas Lunch, even at Christmas, prepare to be burnt crisper than an overdone turkey dinner. Toasted tourist isn't very tasty!
Escape the Traditional Christmas Dinner
If you want to escape the whole "traditional Christmas Dinner" thing, be warned that you may find restaurants outside of the resort areas closed on Christmas Day. This is not because the locals are celebrating, it's because they're resting from having done so the night before. Christmas Eve is a family gathering, Christmas Day is for recuperation.
Depending on the weather, many locals will head off up the mountain on Christmas Day. The 3,718 meter high Mount Teide, the dormant volcano at Tenerife's heart, does often get snowcapped for Christmas and is a beautiful sight to behold. As are the Christmas pine trees, seasonal red poinsettias and other natural "decorations" you'll see on the way.
The ideal conditions are enough snow to play in, but not too much to close the roads. You will need warm clothing, but wrap up, throw snowballs, forget the turkey and trimmings and snack on churros con chocolate and the odd lumumba (hot chocolate with brandy) for the non-drivers. Barbie a few prawns when you get back down to the warm coastal air.
New Year, New Clothes
If local street atmosphere is what you want, you would do better to wait until New Year, with probably an arrival date of Friday, December 29th. New Year's Eve sees pretty big street parties in most towns of any size. In Santa Cruz in the Plaza de Espa09a - and in 2006 the chimes will be televised from Tenerife - will likely be the location for the busiest party.
Similarly, the church square in Los Cristianos is usually rocking. Wherever the party, you'll need 12 grapes to eat along with the chimes. These will be followed by really superb fireworks displays and either a band or a disco until around dawn. New clothes are mandatory - this is another tradition to bring good luck - party hats optional.
Canary Islands Christmas, Like the Canarians Do
But, if you want to see local traditions and celebrate the season in the Canary Islands, as the Canarians do, then you need to be here on the evening of January 5th. That date in 2007, is a Friday, so depending on the times of flights, you may need to have arrived the week before on Friday, December 29th or on the Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007.
In either case, you may actually save money by waiting until after Christmas week itself, so this offers the best value, both in seeing something new and getting away from the January cold. Knowing what I know now, if I had to choose just one event out of the Christmas Season in the Canary Islands, I'd choose to be here for this celebration.
What you can expect to find are Los Reyes Magos - The Three Kings. This is when gifts are brought to children in the Canary Islands and is the biggest date of the entire winter holiday season, with parades through the streets in most towns, large and small. We have a full account of the parade, along with photos from Los Reyes 2006 in Garachico, so that you can get an idea of what is involved. It beats Santa in entertainment value any day!
And no, you don't need to bring or be a kid to enjoy it. Nobody's granny misses it, but you'll also find that the local teenagers attend, willingly, without losing their "street cred". :)
Of course, you can see any of this if you stay on the south of the island, where most of the tourist accommodation is. You only need to go to Los Cristianos for one of the biggest New Year's Eve parties or one of the most spectacular parades of The Three Kings.
Alternatively, choose to stay in Puerto de la Cruz. The weather may not be quite so warm as the south, but there will be all the authentic celebrations right in the town itself.
To really be in the thick of it, with ringside seats, so to speak, the pageant at the end of the Three Kings parade in Garachico is held in the very same square as the Hotel La Quinta Roja, a restored 16th Century mansion. Just a couple of streets around the corner and only a hundred or so years later in construction, is the Hotel San Roque. Having seen various Three Kings parades in different towns around Tenerife, Garachico's is still my favorite. Not too big, not to small, but with lots of atmosphere in glorious surroundings.
