Faro Flights from Manchester

Monarch, flythomascook.com.charter, Jet2.com and Thomson Flights all offer direct flights from Faro in Portugal to Manchester International Airport.

Flights from Manchester to the Algarve take around three hours and Portugal is on the same time zone as the UK through the year so you do not need to change your clocks or watches, and all times quoted below are local.

Manchester Airport is a large airport offering a wide choice of flights to Faro with the four airlines listed above. If you want to save time when you arrive there make sure you check in online. Some airlines offer fast bag drop at Manchester which means you do not have to queue at all at the check in if you have done so online. Better still, if you are able to travel with just hand luggage, this saves even more time as you will be able to print off your boarding pass and just head straight for passport control and security.

Just carrying cabin baggage not only saves time, but also money as you will not be charged for this. Airlines make a charge at the time of booking for every piece of luggage checked into the hold. If you arrive at Faro Airport with just hand luggage you will not have to wait at the luggage carousel in the arrivals hall while your bags are unloaded from the flight and put on the carousel.
