The bus to Lanzarote airport
In the Canaries the bus is called bus. Those at Lanzarote airport are run by Intercity Bus Lanzarote (IBL), the island’s intercity operator, and they leave from the arrivals area.
The most useful are line line 22 and the 23 (airport ↔ Arrecife, the capital, in about 15 minutes) and, to the tourist south, the 161 (airport – Puerto del Carmen – Playa Blanca) and line 162 (via Arrecife). For Costa Teguise there is no direct line: you change in Arrecife.
