If you live in or around the capital, you are in the privileged position of having five major airports at your disposal, each offering a different way to reach the Tenerife sun in 2026.
Whether you want a low-cost “hop” from Stansted or a luxury British Airways experience from Heathrow, London has every possible angle covered.
All-Inclusive Holidays to Tenerife from London Airports For Londoners, Tenerife is practically a “short-haul” backyard. With over 160 flights leaving the capital every week, you have an incredible amount of leverage when it comes to price. From Gatwick’s massive package selection to Southend’s boutique feel, flying to Tenerife from London is all about choosing the airport that best fits your budget and your postcode.
Each hub has its own “personality” and typical holiday style:
London Gatwick (LGW): The undisputed king of Tenerife packages. It’s the primary base for easyJet Holidays, British Airways, and TUI. If you want a 5-star all-inclusive in Costa Adeje with all the bells and whistles, Gatwick is usually your best bet.
London Stansted (STN) & Luton (LTN): The budget powerhouses. Dominated by Jet2holidays and Ryanair, these are the go-to airports for finding a “cheap and cheerful” deal or a last-minute bargain under £400.
London Heathrow (LHR): The luxury choice. If you’re looking for a premium experience, British Airways flies direct from Heathrow. It’s perfect for those who want to use Avios points or start their holiday in a sophisticated lounge.
London Southend (SEN): The “stress-free” alternative. In 2026, easyJet has revitalised its Southend routes. It’s much smaller and faster to navigate than the big hubs—perfect if you live in Essex or East London.
Price Wars = Lower Fares: Because so many airlines (easyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, TUI, BA, and Vueling) compete on the London-to-Tenerife route, prices are often lower here than anywhere else in the UK.
Total Flexibility: You aren’t restricted to “Saturday to Saturday” trips. With flights leaving every morning, afternoon, and evening, you can book a 4, 5, or 10-night all-inclusive stay just as easily as a standard week.
The “Resort Flight Check-In”: Many London-based package deals with Jet2holidays offer the “Resort Flight Check-In” service, where they take your bags from your hotel on the final day, so you can head to the airport bag-free.
If you’re flying from Gatwick (LGW), the airport is split into two terminals (North and South). Always double-check which one you’re flying from! easyJet usually operates from the North, while British Airways and TUI are typically in the South. Getting it wrong can cost you a stressful 20 minutes on the shuttle train!
Play the Airports Off Each Other: Use a comparison tool to check Stansted, Luton, and Gatwick simultaneously. Often, a flight from Stansted might be £50 cheaper than Gatwick on the exact same day.
The “Elizabeth Line” Advantage: If you live in Central London, the Elizabeth Line makes getting to Heathrow faster than ever. If you find a good BA deal, the time you save travelling to the airport is a huge bonus.
January “Big Sales”: London routes are the first to be discounted in the January sales. For 2026, we are seeing massive “low deposit” offers (from just £60pp) for London departures.
easyJet: Flying from Gatwick, Luton, and Southend.
Jet2holidays: The flagship for Stansted and Luton packages.
Ryanair: Great for flight-only deals from Stansted and Luton.
British Airways: Direct flights from Gatwick and Heathrow.
TUI: Extensive package options from Gatwick, Stansted, and Luton.
For the Absolute Lowest Price: January and March. You can frequently find all-inclusive weeks for under £350pp when flying from Stansted or Luton during these months.
For a Premium Escape: September. The summer crowds have thinned, the Atlantic is at its warmest, and the luxury BA flights from Heathrow are often more competitively priced.
