Compare Algarve flights

Hail from the Midlands? It couldn’t be easier to fly to the Algarve, with Ryanair and Jet2 operating routes out of East Midlands Airport, and non-stop flights from Birmingham with Ryanair.

Heading further north, easyJet and Jet2 offer cheap flights to Algarve’s airport from Newcastle. Jet2 and Ryanair operate out of Manchester. Liverpool and Leeds are equally well connected thanks to easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 - and a TUI route from Leeds Bradford to Faro opened in 2017 offers an even greater range of choice. Expect your Algarve flight from these destinations to take around three hours and ten minutes.

Ryanair and Jet2 fly out of Edinburgh, while Ryanair flies from Glasgow Prestwick.

Skipping over to Northern Ireland, it’s possible to fly from Belfast to the Algarve with Aer Lingus, Jet2 or easyJet.

Other British airports with direct Algarve flights include Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Cardiff.

Avoid school holidays if possible, particularly summer and Easter, when flights fill quickly and Algarve flights to Faro Airport are much more expensive.

With Algarve flights so quick, plentiful and cheap, it’s rare for Brits to reach the region in any other way.

If flying really isn’t your thing, though, there are a few alternatives on offer, including an epic two-day train ride via Barcelona and an even longer drive. Both options are more expensive than flying, particularly when you add in the cost of travelling by toll roads between Calais and the Algarve.

Perhaps a more attractive (although pricier) route into the region is a cruise. Most voyages depart from Southampton, with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines offering an 11-night Spain and Algarve cruise. It might not be the fastest way to reach southern Portugal’s golden beaches, but it’s certainly the most opulent.
