We are flying to Tenerife with Ryanair soon and it involves flying from an airport over 2 hours away from our home and an early morning flight so we wondered what would be the easiest and best way for us to manage this.

We considered all the options, including setting off in the early hours of the morning from home with a long drive and an early check in time, Setting off from home around midnight and arriving at the airport early then 'crashing' for the rest of the time but finally we decided to do it in style and have booked a room at a hotel on the airport complex.

The reason we chose this option was that with our Ryanair to Tenerife flight, we have the facility to check in online up to 14 days prior to departure, this option means that we do not have to be at the airport 2 hours before take off time which allows us the luxury of having a relaxed continental breakfast in the hotel prior to our departure.

We will keep you informed of how easy it was on our return.
