Yes, especially during the fall and winter months, there are several direct flights a week to Santa Cruz de La Palma Airport (SPC).

Airlines: Condor, Discover Airlines, Eurowings, EasyJet, and Marabu offer nonstop flightsfrom various German departure airports (including Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Berlin—depending on the season).

Seasonality: The selection varies greatly between the summer and winter flight schedules. During the winter months, the selection of direct flights is significantly larger.

Booking: Flights can be booked directly with the airlines or through well-known tour operators (such as Schauinsland-Reisen, TUI, or DERTOUR). As a general rule, the earlier you book, the better the availability and prices.

Since direct flights do not depart every day of the week, traveling via mainland Spain offers additional flexibility:

Iberia via Madrid: Iberia flies daily from Madrid to La Palma. With good connections , the total travel time is between 6.5 and 8 hours. Connections with an overnight stay ( +1 hour ) should be avoided.

Vueling via Barcelona: Vueling offers direct flights (several times a week, depending on the season) from Barcelona to La Palma.

Advantage: When booking through a single provider (e.g., entirely through Iberia), your luggage is checked through, and your connecting flight is guaranteed even in the event of a delay.

Yes, especially in the case of last-minute flight cancellations or when no suitable direct flights are available. There are multiple daily flights from Germany to Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

About Tenerife: International flights usually land at Tenerife South Airport (TFS).

However, connecting flights to La Palma mostly depart from Tenerife North Airport (TFN) on Binter Canarias or Canaryfly.

The direct bus line 343 (TITSA Express) runs between the two airports and takes approximately 50 minutes. Please allow at least 3 to 4 hours for the transfer, including baggage claim, transfers, and recheck – in .

About Gran Canaria (LPA): There’s no need to change terminals here. You can transfer directly to a Binter or Canaryfly flightin the same terminal.

Important Note: If you book island flights separately, you are not automatically entitled to onward transportation in the event of a delay on your connecting flight.

From Tenerife South, you can also take the ferry to La Palma. The ferry terminal in Los Cristianos is about a twenty-minute taxi ride from Tenerife South Airport (or take bus line 40).

The ferries usually leave from around 6 – 7 pm, so that you arrive on La Palma at around 9 – 10 pm. On La Palma, the ferry departs at around 6 a.m., so depending on the flight connection, you will need to plan a corresponding stay on Tenerife.
