A POPULAR Spanish airport has revealed it's £2.7million renovation - and it will make flying much easier for passengers.
Around 8.2million people travelled through Lanzarote Airport last year, with the island being much-loved by Brits.
And a new renovation will start this year of Terminal 1.
This includes remodelling the corridors between the airport bridge and luggage carousels, as well as updates to the arrivals zone.
Costing €3.2million (£2.7million), it's part of a wider plan to merge T1 and T2 together, to allow passengers to travel between each terminal.

The renovations are to expand the terminals, due to nearing capacity.
The current capacity is nine million passengers per year to expand to 10 million.
However, these larger plans - estimated to cost around €140million (£119million) - are not expected to start until 2027.
María Teresa Cuenca, who has been director of the airport since July 2022, explained the new plans.
She told local media: "We want to expand and remodel Terminal 1 to take a big leap in quality.
"We are going to expand check-in, boarding, and security control areas [...] always with a view to improving quality for the passenger and making the spaces more comfortable.
"[T1 and T2] will be connected at boarding, once the security check has passed, but terminal 2 will continue to function independently for inter-island traffic.
"The first phase of the remodeling will allow us to expand the T1 boarding area, and will allow the T2 passenger, once they have passed the security filter, to access all the commercial areas."
But Lanzarote Airport isn't the only one in Spain undergoing a huge renovation.
Madrid Barajas Airport is expanding the airport after welcoming 61.3million passengers last year, with aims to increase this to 80million.

Three of the terminals are to be refurbished, costing around €700million (£607million), with terminals four and five being expanded at a cost of €1.7billion (£1.47billion).
The entire project is estimated to cost €2.4billion (£2.1billion), with work starting in 2031.
Elsewhere in Europe, Poland has revealed plans to open the biggest airport in Europe.
Warsaw Solidarity Airport hopes to launch flights by 2028, and hopes to rival London Heathrow and Dubai with long-haul flights.
