Please can you tell me how to get from Tenerife North Airport to Tenerife South Airport on Friday 25th June? Thanks
Dear Valerie,
the usual bus line 343 is currently suspended, so you will need to combine more ways of transport.
You can get to Intercambiador Santa Cruz by bus no. 20 from where you can continue by bus no. 111, but the closest you can get is Casablanca station, about 30 minutes walking from the airport. For the last part, we suggest you order a taxi.
However, keep following the official website since bus line 343 might be operating again soon.
Best regards,
