Here’s what to expect when you arrive at the airport for the first time, and where to go once you’ve collected your luggage. Approach and LandingGenerally, aircraft land from the ocean, so you’ll fly to the left of Arrecife, then turn and come in right over the beach, – sit on the left of the aircraft for the best views. Occasionally, if the wind is “wrong” you’ll come in over the mountains, which is interesting, and you’ll fly over a main road just before touch down! Most of the time, the aircraft will dock with an airway, but if the airport is really busy, a bus will come out to the apron for the aircraft which have been double parked. Passport ControlHave your passport ready as you get off the plane, and you’ll have a short walk through corridors to passport control. It’s not always manned, but if it is, you’ll find the Guardia Civil officer will give a cursory glance at your passport. Once through there, you will be in the baggage hall, and as usual, there are screens to tell you which carousel your luggage will be on. When you have your luggage make your way through the sliding doors Martina’s Cars will be waiting for you near the lifts. It is usually Baldomero who will have a sign with your name on it and a BIG smile. All you have to do is get your car and follow my PDF file. HAPPY HOLIDAY!
