The practical part
Here’s how to get there.
Find the stop for your line
For line 40, follow the bus signs to floor 0, Arrivals. For night line 711 towards Costa Adeje via Los Cristianos, TITSA specifically names the Departures terminal. Aena's general arrivals location does not replace that direction-specific instruction.

Choose a departure towards Costa Adeje
Line 40 runs every day between Costa Adeje station, Los Cristianos and TFS. Towards Costa Adeje it picks up at intermediate stops only when passengers also get off; boarding at the airport avoids that restriction. TITSA points to line 711 for departures outside the line 40 timetable.

Get off at Los Cristianos
Get off at Los Cristianos, before Costa Adeje. The timetable gives your airport departure but no arrival time at Los Cristianos, so leave a buffer for any onward plans.

How long is the bus ride?
TITSA prints 40 minutes for the complete line 40 route between Costa Adeje and TFS. That is not a published TFS–Los Cristianos duration. Line 711 times Los Cristianos only on the return towards TFS/Santa Cruz. Towards Los Cristianos, TITSA prints only the TFS time for this segment, with no Los Cristianos arrival. No arrival is estimated for either line.

What is the fare?
The single fare depends on your journey; no verified TFS–Los Cristianos amount is quoted here. The tickets guide compares the dated ten+ travelcard prices.

The return to Tenerife South Airport
Line 40's return table prints departures from Costa Adeje, not boarding times at Los Cristianos. Those rows explicitly say the bus passes Los Cristianos later and have no boarding countdown. Line 711 does print Los Cristianos times. Choose the airport direction and leave time for your flight's check-in.
