Faro Flights from Bristol

You have the choice of four airlines which operate flights from Bristol Airport to Faro. They are easyJet, flythomascook, Thomson Flights and Ryanair.

If you can't find a suitable flight to the Algarve from Bristol Airport, then the nearest airport is Cardiff which offers flights to Faro from Flythomascook, bmibaby and Thomson Flights.

If you can keep your luggage down to a minimum (hand luggage only) it makes travelling much easier as if you do this with most airlines you can check in online and print off your boarding pass. Cutting out the necessity to stand at long check in queues at the airports or waiting for your baggage to appear on the carousel, thus and making the whole experience of travelling by air a lot less stressful.

The airline you book with will specify a maximum baggage size (for hand luggage) and weight limit on your ticket and you may well find that you can get away with just carrying a small bag rather than a heavy suitcase. Also remember the restrictions on what you can carry in your hand luggage, but also bear in mind that sun tan lotion and general toiletries can be purchased very cheaply in Portugal!

The flights normally take around 2 hours 45 minutes and the beauty of traveling to Portugal is that there is no time difference to the UK so you do not have to alter your clocks or watches.
