Airport bus Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is located near the town of Telde, on the eastern part of Gran Canaria island. The airport is also known as Las Palmas or Gando Airport and it is the largest among the Canary Islands airports in terms of passenger traffic as it served more than 13 million people in 2018.
Gran Canaria Airport has currently one terminal, divided into three areas: Area A (for Schengen international flights), Area B (domestic flights to Spanish peninsula and non-Schengen flights), and Area C (inter-island flights within Canary Islands).
How to get from Gran Canaria Airport to other parts of Canary Islands

Taxi
If you prefer a comfortable ride over a crowded public transport, we recommend taking a taxi. The average trip time to get to downtown Las Palmas is 20 minutes. Keep in mind that official taxis are properly identified and you’ll easily identify them by colour – they are white with a blue and red stripe and the coat of arms of Las Palmas city. The taxi stop at Gran Canaria Airport is located in the Ground Level, in the Arrivals hall, but they can be located in different areas of the airport terminal as well, especially during the peak season. Taxi fares vary depending on your destination, so make sure to check it with the driver before starting the ride.
Transfer
If you are not a fan of public transport and are hesitant to take a taxi, we recommend you to book a private transfer online which will wait for you at the airport and take you to your destination. You can even pre-order a child safety seat in case you are travelling with children.
Renting a car at Gran Canaria airport
For those who would prefer to reach the city and explore the area on their own, the best option is to rent a car directly at the airport. You can find the offices of major car rental companies in the Ground level of the main terminal. Compare rental prices in advance and book your car online.
Renting a bus at Gran Canaria airport
Larger groups of passengers should consider renting a bus at the airport. However, it is recommended to book it online, so the bus rental companies have enough time to advise you on the meeting point and all other information.

Why are people still wearing masks on public transport in Spain.
There is zero scientific evidence to support this utter stupidity.

Wie funktioniert es mit dem Koffer wenn ich vom Flughafen nach Playa del Ingles fahren möchte? Nehme ich den Koffer mit in den Bus oder wird der Koffer vom Busfahrer in einen extra Laderaum gepackt?
Hallo,
Wenn Sie vom Flughafen nach Playa del Ingles reisen, hängt es von der spezifischen Busverbindung ab, die Sie nutzen. In den meisten Fällen nehmen Sie Ihren Koffer mit in den Bus und stellen ihn entweder in das Gepäckabteil oder in die Gepäckablage über den Sitzen. Der Bus verfügt normalerweise über spezielle Bereiche, um das Gepäck während der Reise sicher zu verstauen. Es wird jedoch empfohlen, sich vor dem Einsteigen in den Bus bei der Busgesellschaft oder am Informationsschalter des Flughafens über die genauen Regelungen zu informieren.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
GBB
