Just returned from Lanzarote, great little airport,went with Jet 2 absolutely no messing with check in or security. Been watching your videos prior to travelling as we've never been to Lanzarote before, very informative, cheers.
Would highly recommend Jet 2 maybe a little more expensive but no wait at check in , always check in on line so much easier. Down side is at Manchester there is a long walk to the gate and there are stairs to get down to access the tunnel for aircraft. There is a lift for disabled.
Good for first time travelers to see checking at Lanzarote airport, that must have been frustrating to stand in a queue for that long in my experience I have never had to wait more than 30 minutes, looking forward to the return video
Another useful video! On my last return flight from Lanzarote earlier this month, there were two spanish customs officers manually checking passports at the boarding gate, which is not something I've ever seen before. I hope its not the start of a new trend!
Ive just got back from lanzarote last night the queues wasnt that bad only had a hiccup with luggae and before i knew it there was at least 100 ppl in queue within mins and i agree waitin is ridiculous also the scanning passports i always had trouble with it absoloute nightmare
I love Lanzarote airport. If people didn't take so much luggage with them they wouldn't have to queue. I can't believe how much some people take just for a week!!
You need to move with the times, automated bourding pass machines are so much quicker, try using a phone i do all the time had no problems the past 4 time i've been to Lanzarote this year, carry on lougage is a lot easier that's what i do no long ques, interesting video.
Dave did you not check in online or where you bringing a stash back to brummie as that queue was mental but good informative tios for us stupots and hope your weekend was good
Love watching all your Lanzarote Videos, having just played back your live stream from Las Americas, I can honestly say, Lanzarote or even Gran Canaria beats Tenerife hands down. The evening air did turn a bit blue with colorful language towards the end of your walk, keep on vlogging, regards, Kevin
What was the queue for passport exit stamps like, the one at Tenerife South last month was 45 minutes to an hour and looking at a vlog from a couple of days ago it's still the same there. Due of course to Brexit, the gift that keeps on taking.
Arrecife, very clean, very expensive but has an al fresco facility. No WH Smiths unfortunately. Always a hold up at Ryan Air check in. So much profit for minimum customer benefit.
We travelled in and out of Lanzarote this month - no problems. Border force people checked our passports both times. The viewing area is good, except for the smoking. A great view of the runway.
Had a great time last week in Lanzarote and flew back to blighty on Saturday evening. We were with Jet2 and have to say the service was amazing, even though there were strikes on we were informed all the way and delays were kept to a minimum. Had a pretty good experience in Lanzarote airport too. Check in wasn't too long, about 30mins as Jet2 had over 10 lanes open, and once thru security we had plenty of time to browse and went to relay to get a meal deal (much better value than burger king etc and the in flight deals) Also If your a smoker/vaper the bar is good as it has quite a big outside area with tables and chairs and views of Lanzarote. It's so much better than the poxy little smoking area at EMA. PS thanks for all your tips and vids (we stayed in PB and went to the Irish Anvil and Popeyes for Breakfast, Arabellas, The Curry house & Asia Steakhouse for evening meals and had smoothies at yumyum and la bahia, delicious! We also did a Travelon excursion - Volcano Short Tour which was fantastic and also got a ferry over to FV for the day and went to Acua Waterpark) ...we hope to return back to Lanzarote in the near future.
Wow that is so amazing thanks so much for taking the time to write this. So glad we could help and you had a good time. This is what a holiday should be about not just pool and bar. What a busy holiday ha ha you must be exhausted. Jet2 looked very organised at the airport I have to admit
We are big fans of Lanzarote, however our Ryanair flight experienced a 9 hour delay in March. That is too long to spend in any airport, and it has left us rather dubious about the whole idea of travelling by plane. We will recover, of course, but will never use RyanAir again. It would be an absolute red line for us. Lanzarote airport? It's fine, really, but like most airports not set up to cope with significant delays.
Wierd. We flew back from their yesterday. Pick up from hotel in PDC was 10.10am. We flew through backage drop off and passport control and were looking round at duty free no later than 10.35am.
EasyJet always been good when onboard but disastrous when leaving Lanzarote no queuing system to longer queues probably the worst airport I’ve ever been to for departures ! But apart from that the island is amazing ! Maybe I moan about the airport because I never want to leave lol
Just found your channel from off of one of your amazing RUclips adverts and can I say, Wow I am so happy I found this channel.
Welcome aboard! and thanks so much
Love Lanzarote, love flying, and love your vlogs, so thank you, enjoy your time back in Birmingham

Thanks for sharing mate yes you can get a good view of the runway
Couldn't believe what a trek it was from the airport to the buses.😒
ha ha yes indeed

We must have been on same flight to EMA. First time in Playa Blanca and loved it, also went in Irish Anvil

Delays are horrible mate I agree
Do you live in lanzarote?
Yes 20 years

Was it Ryanair? Tui and J2 seems fast
@@MrTravelONWorld It was TUI. Very efficient indeed!
Like
thabks
KFC and pizza hut are now in depatures
Yes need to go there
its good they went cashless. it means i wont need to buy anything further from them.
seems like everyone is
Your not premitted to Film Airline crew without there premission. Its against regulations
Oh no really hope I don't get in troublen
EasyJet always been good when onboard but disastrous when leaving Lanzarote no queuing system to longer queues probably the worst airport I’ve ever been to for departures ! But apart from that the island is amazing ! Maybe I moan about the airport because I never want to leave lol
ha ha maybe but I agree seems Tui J2 have all the desks
90% of delays are caused by clueless passengers!! Arrecife airport is a breeze but we never have checked in baggage.
ha ha totally agree
Moral of the story....dont fly with Ryanair they are rubbish.!! Once we did it but never again. Jet2 every time.!!
Price is worth it sometimes though
Silly question but I was wondering if there's any smoking area after check in?
not at checkin but through security yes
@@MrTravelONWorld Thanks buddy 😊
