Fuerteventura airport.
When you have arrived at an airport it is nice to have some idea of what to expect. This page gives a little information about the layout at Fuerteventura airport. During May there is a display of 16 model aircraft at the airport. They are to be found in the main hall, and represent aircraft ove a period of 50 years.
Flight Arrivals
The first part of the airport you will visit after your flight to Fuerteventura is the baggage collection area. It has lots of toilets, and you can also find information about such things as taxi prices from the airport to various destinations. The car hire firms have windows into the baggage collection area.
When you exit the baggage collection area, you will see these doors. If you have flown with a holiday company, the reps will be waiting for you here. If you have hired a car, that is to be picked up from the airport, the desks are to your left.
Taxi and buses
The prices of taxi fares to various destinations are posted on the wall near to the exit door of the baggage reclaim room.
If you have travelled independently, when you exit the doors, the taxi rank is to your right. The queues reduce quickly. To your left is the Tiadhe bus stop. The number 3 runs every 30 minutes in both directions between Puerto de Rosario and Caleta de Fuste.
Departure flights
When it is time to get your flight home, the first thing to do is to find your flight on the departures board. There will be a range of gates indicated for your flight. You can queue in any of these, as whichever one you choose will be the slowest.
When you have checked in, you will be sent off for the security check. There are two security gates, one is to the right and behind the check in desks, the other is next to check in desk zero. Both are not always open, so it is worth keeping an eye on the situation as you move slowly forwards in the check in queue.
If queueing becomes too stressful, you can always go and look at the fish in the aquarium between arrivals and departures.
The departure lounge has plenty of places to buy reasonably priced food, which may be eaten on the sun terrace at either end of the departure lounge. There are also the usual duty free shops.
