Tenerife – South (TFS)

[DanC]

Had to spend a couple of hours in TFS, once you’ve found it, the signs are not that clear, its not too bad… good views of the runways, while not a smoker the outdoor smoking area is a nice way to make the last of the warmer climate, good selection of drinks, food was ok

What’s the food offerings?

The Montaña Roja Lounge is airside, after security control. Once you have passed through the control, turn left and you will find the lounge just before the escalators to the boarding gates and the commercial zone. its around gate B12

Food oferings: Cold – usual cheese / ham / Jamon / salads (tune & potato) . Hot- Pasta, spanish mealballs, some veggie rice, tortilla

I don’t know how you found it, but last time I had the displeasure of sharing that lounge with four babes-in-arms and several small children. The children excitedly entertained themselves for about 20 minutes with an indoor running competition (the girl won, IIRC) while the parents looked on indifferently. Three of the babes in arms cried incessantly, and the fourth was only silent because Dad shamelessly and tunelessly gave us a high volume rendition of Old MacDonald whilst pacing the lounge.

I have never been so glad to leave a lounge in my life…until I found myself in exactly the same position on the aircraft. I haven’t been back to Tenerife since. I can’t cope with a 4-hour flight under those circumstances.

There’s a killing to be made for an enterprising airline that nominates a couple of flights a day to popular family destinations as being adult-only. Much better than killing the parents.

Total opposite for me, no kids, most people were beign quiet…

@DanC – that’s encouraging. Maybe I got unlucky and should go back.

The northern part of Tenerife is sublimely beautiful…such a great place for cycling and hiking.
