Lanzarote Airport (ACE) to Arrecife and the resorts
Line 22 covers Arrecife on weekdays in 10 minutes; line 23 replaces it at weekends and takes 15. Late flights are met by lines 61 and 162.
- Line 22 runs Monday to Friday only, Arrecife to the airport in 10 minutes, every 40 to 50 minutes.
- Line 23 runs only at weekends, via Playa Honda, taking 15 minutes, once an hour.
- So the two Arrecife lines never run on the same day. Check which day you land before planning around one of them.
- Line 22 operates 05:30 to 23:00 towards the airport and 05:45 to 23:15 back; line 23 only 07:00 to 22:00.
- For Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca, line 161 runs every 30 to 60 minutes between 07:30 and 21:30.
- Late arrivals are covered: line 61 leaves at 22:30 and line 162 at 23:16 and 00:16, both from Terminal 1 to Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca.
The weekday and weekend split
| Line | Runs | Route | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | Monday to Friday | Arrecife to airport | 10 minutes |
| 23 | Weekends only | Arrecife, airport, Playa Honda | 15 minutes |
- This is the trap at Lanzarote. Most write ups name line 22 without saying it does not run at weekends, and line 23 has a shorter operating window on top.
- Line 22 runs every 40 to 50 minutes, from 05:30 to 23:00 towards the airport and 05:45 to 23:15 from it.
- Line 23 runs hourly, 07:00 to 22:00 towards the airport and 07:17 to 22:17 back.
The resort strip
- Line 161 is the workhorse: airport, Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, every 30 to 60 minutes, 08:25 to 21:25 towards the airport and 07:30 to 21:30 the other way.
- Line 61 leaves Terminal 1 at 22:30 for Puerto del Carmen, Uga and Playa Blanca.
- Line 162 leaves at 23:16 and 00:16 on the same corridor, from Arrecife station through the airport.
- Between them, a late flight is covered as far as the south of the island, which is unusual for a Canary airport.
Fares
- Neither the airport nor the operator publishes single fares on the pages linked from the terminal.
- Travel cards cost 2 EUR and are topped up between 5 EUR and 50 EUR.
- Expect to pay the driver and check the price shown rather than relying on a figure from a guide.
