Traditional airlines
You can fly to Tenerife from Moscow and St. Petersburg on flights of various airlines: Iberia + Norwegian, AirBerlin, Aeroflot, Air France. A round trip ticket usually starts at 22 thousand rubles. As you can see, the price is not the lowest, besides, all these options are flights with rather long connections in European cities.
Sometimes you can find lower prices with traditional airlines - either in connection with promotions and special offers (about the appearance of which we always notify our readers in the section "Cheap air tickets: promotions, special offers and discounts of airlines"), or simply for some reason from one of the airlines may have good prices (search for tickets for different dates on the Skyscanner and Aviasales metasearch engines - they look for the cheapest options among hundreds of airlines and ticket offices).

Low-cost airlines
Many European low-cost airlines fly to the Canary Islands. As a rule, it is they who make it possible to fly to Tenerife the cheapest way. The first stage of the trip will be the way to the nearest European cities of the Baltic states or Finland to Russia. We wrote about this scheme in detail here.
The flight map of European low-cost airlines is very extensive, so there can be many route options to Tenerife. We will give examples of the most convenient, cheap and interesting ones.
Perhaps the best option would be: Riga → Dusseldorf → Tenerife (or another island). All flights with Ryanair.
You can fly from Riga to Dusseldorf for only 26 euros:
Dusseldorf is convenient because it is a large hub: here and from here you can fly to almost anywhere in Europe at the lowest price. If you wish, you can make your transplant longer and go to the Netherlands for a couple of days, which are very close here (if interested, you can read all the information in our article "How to get to Amsterdam cheaplyWell, from Dusseldorf you can already fly directly to the Canary Islands (and not only in Tenerife, for the same money you can fly to other islands):
As you can see, for 35 euros you can fly to Tenerife and Fuerteventura, and for 39 € - to Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.
You can fly back by the same route, or you can fly, for example, from another island, and choose Milan (Bergamo) or some Spanish city as a transfer point. And from there, fly to Riga, Tallinn, Tampere or other cities in the Baltic States and Finland, from which you can easily get to Russia. If you plan your route in advance and be able to slightly shift and push the travel dates, then the trip will easily come out extremely budgetary.
In our case, a flight to Tenerife from Riga via Dusseldorf will cost 60 euros. Return tickets are not difficult to find within the same amount. You can get to Riga from Moscow, St. Petersburg or Kaliningrad by buses - let's say tickets will cost you 1,500 rubles in both directions (if you catch promotions, you can meet half the price). In total, it turns out that you can get to Tenerife from Russia for only 7,500 rubles! Of course, you will spend a little more time on the road than when flying on traditional airlines directly from your city, but on the other hand, you will save a lot and still be able to visit Netherlands, Milan or other interesting places.
In addition to Ryanair, you can use other low-cost airlines Europe (easyJet, Norwegian, etc.). There are a lot of cheap flights to Tenerife! Look for yours. And it is better to buy tickets for low-cost airlines on the official websites - in the case of low-cost airlines, the lowest price will be there.
A similar scheme can be used for some other travel outside Europe (for example, for travel to Morocco on your own), because almost all European low-cost airlines also fly to some countries in North Africa and the Middle East.
And you can also get to the Canary Islands by ferry from many Spanish cities (having previously flown there on low-cost airlines) - this will not be the cheapest, but certainly rich in impressions option.
Surely, you will be interested in reading about what to see in Tenerife (our review of the best attractions) and how to celebrate the New Year on this island. Under the heading "How to Fly Cheaply" you can always read about the cheapest ways to get to the desired point.
