Arrival by Plane
Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
The Aeropuerto de Gran Canaria (IATA: LPA) is located on the east coast of the island, about 25 km south of Las Palmas and about 30 km north of Maspalomas. It is one of the busiest airports in Spain and is excellently connected to Germany.
Direct Flights from Germany
Gran Canaria is one of the best-connected Canary Islands — there are direct flights from almost every German airport:
- Condor: From Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Hanover, Leipzig. Flight time: 4.5–5 hours.
- Eurowings: From Düsseldorf, Cologne, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Berlin.
- Ryanair: From Berlin (BER), Cologne, Frankfurt-Hahn. Often the cheapest tickets (from 30€ one-way in the off-season!).
- TUI fly: From many German airports, especially in winter (charter flights).
- Lufthansa: From Frankfurt and Munich.
- Wizz Air: Seasonally from various German cities.
Prices: Return flights from 100–180€ in the off-season, 200–400€ in the peak season (December–February, Easter). Early bookers (3–4 months in advance) and flexible dates save the most.
