Can I fly direct to Lanzarote from Gibraltar, Malaga, Seville or Jerez?

Short answer

Yes, from Malaga and Seville. Jerez has no Lanzarote flights, and Gibraltar's own airport has no Canaries flights.

Detailed answer

Which airports fly to Lanzarote

  • Malaga: all year, with more than one airline.
  • Seville: all year, with extra flights in some seasons.
  • Jerez: no flights.
  • Gibraltar: no flights; its scheduled flights go to the UK.

Lanzarote's airport is next to Arrecife, the island's capital, a short drive from the resorts of Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise.

What the weather is like

Average daytime highs at the airport are about 21°C in January, 23.8°C in April, 26.7°C in June and 29.5°C in August (AEMET averages, 1991 to 2020). It is one of the driest of the islands, with about three days of rain a month in winter and almost none from May to September.

The Canaries are the warmest winter destination within a direct flight of the four airports, which is why they fill up at Christmas and February half-term.

Getting there from Gibraltar

Malaga airport is about an hour and a half by car, Jerez about an hour and a half and Seville about two hours, plus time to cross the frontier.

Aena advises arriving two hours before a flight within the Schengen area and three hours before a flight outside it.
