As my adventure begins, I find myself at Lanzarote airport, ready to check in for my flight to Birmingham. Unfortunately, luck seems to be against me, as only one check-in desk is open, resulting in a long and frustrating wait. With countless other passengers also eager to begin their journeys, the line moves slowly, testing my patience. The process takes over an hour, but I keep a positive attitude, excited about what lies ahead.

After the check-in process, I proceed to the security checkpoint and the departure area. Despite the lengthy check-in, I have limited time before my flight departs. The adrenaline builds as I navigate through the busy Arrecife Airport, making sure I don't miss my gate.

Upon entering the departure lounge, I am greeted by a spacious and modern area, designed to meet the needs of travelers. The lounge is brightly lit and showcases Lanzarote's unique charm through its architectural elements, with local artwork and volcanic-inspired designs adorning the walls.

To satisfy your hunger, a wide variety of dining options awaits you. Whether you want a quick or leisurely meal, the departure lounge offers a variety of restaurants, cafes and snack bars. From traditional Canarian cuisine to international flavours, there is something to suit every palate. I take the opportunity to have a delicious sandwich and a refreshing drink to keep me energized for the journey ahead.

As I explore the departure lounge further, I notice a variety of duty-free shops. From cosmetics and fragrances to fashion and electronics, the stores offer a great opportunity for last-minute shopping or picking up souvenirs to remember the trip.

Before I know it, the boarding announcement for my flight is made. I say goodbye to the departure lounge, with a mixture of anticipation and nostalgia for the memorable moments spent between its walls.

Join me on this action-packed Lanzarote Airport adventure as we face the challenges of check-in delays, rush to the gate and explore the departure lounge facilities. Through my lens, experience the thrill and excitement of embarking on a journey from this beautiful Canary Island to the vibrant city of Birmingham.

Video

Welcome to Lanzarote Airport, this video will show you everything you need to know, about going home and arriving in Lanzarote now I'm heading back to Sunny Birmingham.

It's been many years since I've been back in the UK so I thought I'd make a video of the matches for England and Ireland or wherever you're flying and I'll do a video too.

Way back now, this could be in one video, it could be in two videos, who knows, it could even be in three. look at the departures at Lanzarote airport come on thanks this video is going to be a little behind.

Because obviously we're going the other way, whereas you're going to come from the UK or Ireland, so we're going to go.

Start with departures and this is the departure lounge at RCV Airport because through the doors you will come across this small departure.

Lounge, but it works a lot.

Very efficient! And that brings me back to the days of being a rep and working at the airport.

It's always been very exciting, so you've got a bunch of different check-in desks where you've got jet2.

You have Ryanair and you have two.

In now, the Ryanair Q, as you can see for Birmingham, was huge and I'll tell you about it in this video.

This was possibly the longest weight I've ever been on now.

Obviously you usually need to get to the airport two hours before there is no strike but this queue literally took me over an hour and a half you will see in the video and it is huge and I checked in open desk while Tui and jet2 they had some.

So what does this suggest to you now, here we are waiting and waiting.

That was about 40 minutes and we still hadn't moved.

I was getting a little frustrated.

To be honest I was so bored waiting in that queue so I thought I'd go for a walk because upstairs you can see the arrivals downstairs and this is what it looks like when you arrive Lanzarote and later in the video you go see my flight from Birmingham to Lanzarote, where I will show you everything for arrival, which is most important to you, and there is where the luggage is collected again.

You'll see this later in the video, but up there under Departures.

What is there to do if you have a long wait? Well, there's a little news agency type here where you can get some drinks, some snacks, some books, not sure if they're English, German or Spanish, I think they had a bit of a mix up.

But here you can get some meal well when I say meal it's not like the boots meal with a sandwich it's about 390 for some Pringles and a bottle of water and 290 for a couple of bottles of water you don't it can lead to safety either way it can.

But if you want to dump someone in the queue, if there's a long queue and you want to take the traffic, there's a little cafe upstairs too and me.

Tell you what it looked like, really really good and there were plenty of people there enjoying a drink sitting and waiting.

If you can allocate one person to do the horrible thing and be left waiting in the check-in line.

Finally I dropped my bags at check in and it was time to go to security and their security is right behind the check in desks and it's literally a minute's walk to get there.

This airport is nice and small, nice and quiet, and not a lot of stress.

However in the summer it obviously gets a little busy but security is generally a doddle compared to the UK and Ireland.

Now what was new for me because I haven't traveled to the UK for a while? It was modern technology that Lanzarote adopted and you'll see on arrival, it's all technical and scannable now, but it works, I don't know, because every time I've tried to do it, no matter where I go, it never works and sometimes I wonder: isn't it better to have a human touch rather than a machine to stress you out a bit more? What do you think leave me a comment anyway.

This is security.

This is where you go through all their machines and they check everything, but I had to turn the camera off because it said no filming no problem by security.

Why? Because I was organized, I knew where everything was, liquids were out, metals were out, and now it was straight forward.

If you want to hold the queue, don't read the instructions and see Birmingham a little later.

My little rant about people and safety anyway.

This is Lanzarote duty free, now there are so many you can get here and unfortunately I will show you all the way from departures but I literally waited so long in line that my flight was boarding in 15 minutes.

So this will be a quick look at Lanzarote airport departures.

I am.

Sorry I couldn't stop and do a more in-depth one.

I may have to travel a little further and come back as soon as you finish duty-free.

You enter the matches, the lounge and there's a lot of stuff here.

You can do well.

I would like to grab something to eat and something to drink but like I said I literally have to run to do that, video for you guys and get on the plane, an absolute nightmare.

But let's have a look, there are a lot of cafes, a lot of places where you can buy sandwiches, drinks, water, everything you need and it's quite a comfortable place too.

It's usually never that busy.

Obviously during July August September it can be quite busy but it is an airport.

It's what you'd expect, but there are some things you can buy.

Here you have like your designer stores.

There's lots and lots for you to look at and there's also a Burger King a little further down the road and lots and lots of places to eat.

There's even a Victoria's Secret.

If any of the ladies want to buy some nice underwear or any of the gentlemen want to buy something for their lovely one.

Ladies, wait for warp speed departures from Lanzarote Airport as all I had time to do was grab a bottle of water for a week then take it to the check-in counter to get on the plane to Sunny Old Birmingham foreigner, so this has been absolute madness.

It took me over an hour to check if there was a line.

Ryanair fine.

I have a word because it's a kind of strike.

Buses are currently on strike so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and the guy who checked me in was absolutely brilliant.

Really cool, man and I said.

This is normal and he said no. I said: are you on strike? He said no, I said, you're just taking it slow, I said? Maybe there are a few little things going on at the moment to pounce on, but everything should be clear - and it's common this time of summer - you'll be kicking ass anyway.

I have to check in I'm at gate number five come on: let's go as soon as you pass through the gate go down, see your last Lanzarote sign and go down to the runway.

Now.

I love this part because it's super emotional you see the bustle of the airport and look around at the final views of Lanzarote, say goodbye to the blue sky and get on your plane and I was ready to go myself sit back and relax because I tell you what I was absolutely exhausted by now.

The plane itself was very modern indeed.

I think I was in one of the new ones because it was all LED lights and it was very luxurious and very nice and I was happy to get my seat and get ready for my adventures in the damn Sutton coal field.

Here I go.

Here's a little tip before you go to flight mode, make sure you download Ryanair Magazine with the entire menu activated, because they don't do that anymore.

Yeah, All, Digital, the world has gone completely digital and you have to download the menu.

And of course you can't do it while you're in the air, because you're in airplane mode, so here's a little tip for you and also don't forget that all Ryanair flights don't cost money anymore.

You have to use a card so there's a tip, but the Ryanair stuff was fantastic.

The crew went through the usual safety procedures and we were ready to rock and roll. Aviation fans await because I filmed the entire takeoff and I.

Tell him what you get some amazing views of the sky.

Now, as I said at the beginning of the video, will it be two or three videos? Well I? I think there will be two so I'll leave you here and the next video will be my journey from Birmingham to Lanzarote.

So if you want to see what it's like to come, wherever you live and walk in, Lanzarote will be in the next video.
