Flights to Gran Canaria

A flight from London to Gran Canaria takes just over four hours.

The most popular time to visit the island is in the summer and winter months, so book your flights in spring or autumn to save but still enjoy the year-round sunshine and warm temperatures.

You can make your trip to Gran Canaria fit any budget, especially if you do a little forward planning. Finding affordable restaurants and bars is an easy feat on the island, just look out for where the locals eat. As the temperature on the island rarely drops below 20°C – even in the winter months – you can comfortably spend a lot of time outside, exploring the streets of Las Palmas by foot or taking advantage of all the natural beauty spots that are perfect for hikes. There’s nothing better than stretching out on the beach with a good book.

You can explore Las Palmas easily by foot or by renting a bike – there are several bike lanes connecting different parts of the city. To explore the island further, buses run along all the popular routes. For ease, you can hire a car or private transfer on the island to get you to all the destinations you’d like to explore.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Gran Canaria has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

The third largest island in the Canaries archipelago, Gran Canaria is lively, full of history and has lots of natural beauty to explore. Whether you’re visiting the historic cosmopolitan capital of Las Palmas or embarking on an adrenaline-fused adventure filled with hiking, cycling or water sports, there’s something for every traveller to enjoy.
