Las Palmas Airport - LPA
http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/images/gran_canaria_airport_2.jpg Gran Canaria Airport is Spain's fifith busiest airport and by far the busiest airport in the Canary Islands. Around 9.5 million passengers pass through the airport each year with 1.7 million of those passengers going to and from other Canary Islands.
The airport is situtated about 18 kms from the Capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and it is also well located for the main tourist areas which are on the soutern end of the Island.
Arrivals at Gran Canaria (http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/gran-canaria-arrivals.html) are dealt with on the ground floor and Gran Canaria departures (http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/gran-canaria-departures.html) where you check in etc are dealt with on the first floor. In total there are some 86 check in desks and the airport is split into 3 main areas: Zone A, Zone B and Zone C.
Zone A deals with all EU flights, Zone B deals with all other International flights and Zone C handles all inter-island traffic. You will also find a VIP lounge in the Departures area which can be used for free by Business Class passengers or for a fee of around €15 for any other passengers.
Although there is no train service on Gran Canaria getting to and from the Airport is a fairly painless experience. You can easily book private Gran Canaria Airport transfers (http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/gran-canaria-transfers.html) where a driver will meet you in the arrivals hall or just head for the taxi rank and hop into one of the Gran Canaria taxis (http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/gran-canaria-taxis.html). We have also written a section that gives the routes and timetables for the Gran Canaria airport buses (http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/gran-canaria-buses.html).
As you would expect with any airport of this size there is no shortage of places to eat and lots shops at Gran Canaria airport (http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/gran-canaria-shops.html) and there is plenty of parking at Gran Canaria airport (http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/gran-canaria-parking.html).
