Fully Inclusive All-Inclusive Holidays in Tenerife: The Total Package We’ve all been there: you find a “bargain” all-inclusive deal, but by the time you’ve added £60 for a suitcase, £30 to sit next to your partner, and £80 for a taxi at the other end, that bargain has vanished. Fully Inclusive holidays (often provided by big names like Jet2holidays or TUI) are designed to kill those “stealth costs.” You pay one price, and everything from your heavy suitcase to the coach that drops you at the hotel door is already sorted. It is the gold standard of stress-free travel.
Budget-Strict Travellers: If you have a set amount of money for your yearly holiday and cannot go a penny over, this is for you. There are no “oops” moments at the check-in desk.
Large Families: When you’re travelling with three or four kids, the cost of adding luggage and transfers individually is astronomical. Booking them as a “bundle” is almost always cheaper.
The “Zero Stress” Seekers: People who want to arrive at the airport, drop their bags, and let the holiday machine take over. No hailing taxis in Spanish, no lugging cases onto public buses.
Massive Baggage Allowances: Most “Full Package” providers (like Jet2holidays) give you a massive 22kg hold bag as standard. In Tenerife, where you might want to bring back local wine or heavy souvenirs, that extra weight is a lifesaver.
Guaranteed Transfers: Tenerife South airport can be chaotic. Having a rep waiting to point you to your air-conditioned coach (which is already paid for) is a much better start to a holiday than queuing for an hour at the taxi rank.
Seat Selection Peace of Mind: Many of these “Plus” or “Full” packages allow you to choose your seats at the time of booking, meaning you won’t be scattered across the plane away from your kids or travel partners.
Top Tip: Look for the “Resort Flight Check-In” service. Some fully inclusive providers in Tenerife allow you to check your suitcases in at the hotel on your final morning. They take your bags to the airport for you, meaning you can enjoy your last day bag-free and head straight to security when you arrive at the airport.
Look for the “Package” Label: On sites like TUI or Jet2, look for the “Full Package” or “Indulgent Escape” badges. These specifically highlight that luggage and transfers are bundled in. Direct is often better: While third-party sites can be cheap, booking directly with the tour operator often makes it easier to ensure the “all-in” extras like seats and bags are truly included.
Check for “Coach vs Private”: Most fully inclusive deals include a coach transfer. If you want to get to the pool faster, look for “Express” or “Private” transfer upgrades which are sometimes discounted when booked as part of the package.
20kg – 25kg Hold Luggage: Enough for all the suncream and three changes of clothes a day. Airport Transfers: Usually a shared coach, but sometimes a private car for luxury bookings. Allocated Seats: Ensuring the whole family sits together.
ATOL Protection: This is vital—if the airline or hotel has an issue, your entire holiday is legally protected.
For the best package availability: January to March. This is when the big UK operators have their largest “Sale” events, often including extra perks like “£0 deposits” on their fully inclusive packages.
For the best experience: May. The island is warm, the transfers are quick, and the hotels aren’t at 100% capacity yet, meaning the “inclusive” service is at its best.
You can fly “Fully Inclusive” from almost every major UK hub. Whether it’s Manchester, Belfast, Birmingham, or London, the big package providers run daily flights. You’ll land at Tenerife South (TFS), where your pre-paid transfer will be waiting to whisk you away to your resort.
