The terminals at Lanzarote Airport

César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (ACE) sits five kilometres west of Arrecife, the island capital, on the Guacimeta coast in the municipality of San Bartolomé. Aena says the airport opened to national and international civil passenger traffic on 3 March 1970 and inaugurated a passenger terminal in 1999 with capacity for more than seven million passengers a year and a control tower.

The airport works from two passenger terminals: Terminal T1 handles mainland Spain and international flights and is open from 5:00 to 1:00, while Terminal T2 handles inter-island flights and is open from 5:00 to 00:00. Check-in desks sit on Floor 1 of both terminals, security checkpoints are on Floor 1 of T1 and Floor 0 of T2, and baggage reclaim on Floor 0 has five European Union carousels, one international carousel and one special-baggage carousel in T1 plus one inter-island carousel in T2, with customs in the T1 reclaim hall.

Lanzarote Airport with children

Aena's families page lists a breast-feeding lounge on Floor 0 of Terminal T2. The airport's Barrier Free assistance service for passengers with reduced mobility also covers minors, who must be accompanied; Aena asks for the request at least 48 hours before scheduled departure and recommends arriving two and a half hours before the flight and reaching the meeting point at least two hours before departure.

Barrier Free meeting points and desks operate in both Terminal T1 and Terminal T2. The airport also has accessible toilets on Floors 0 and 1 of T1 and Floor 0 of T2, ostomy-adapted toilets on Floor 1 of T1 and Floor 0 of T2, and Aena's hidden disabilities badge so staff can identify passengers who wear it.

Plan your stop at Lanzarote Airport

Most airlines let you check in online on their website or mobile app before you travel, so passengers with carry-on luggage only can go straight to the security checkpoint on Floor 1 of T1 or Floor 0 of T2. The airport does not make public-address announcements about boarding gates or gate changes, so watch the information screens in the terminal.

Passengers flying to or from a non-Schengen country must pass document and passport control. Check Terminal T1 (5:00 to 1:00) and Terminal T2 (5:00 to 00:00) opening hours if your flight leaves early in the morning, and call Aena's telephone attention line on (+34) 913 211 000 if you need airport information.
