FAQs - booking Cape Verde flights

  • Are there non-stop flights to Cape Verde?

    You can take non-stop flights to Cape Verde from Gatwick Airport (LGW) in London, with there being direct routes to both Espargos Airport (SID) and Rabil Airport (BVC). You can also fly to San Pedro Airport (VXE) and Praia Nelson Mandela Airport (RAI), but these flights will require a stopover along the way. This transfer is often at Lisbon Airport (LIS).

  • Can I reduce my carbon emissions when flying?

    You can reduce your impact on the environment when you fly by choosing an airline that emits less carbon dioxide during the flight. For instance, if you are flying from London to Espargos Airport (SID), then you could fly with TAP AIR Portugal, which operates this route producing 26% less CO2 than the industry standard. Rather than emitting 965 kg CO2 per passenger, it emits 714 kg CO2 per passenger.

  • Which UK airports have a fast-track service?

    If you are flying from a UK airport to Cape Verde, you can skip the queues ahead of your flight. For instance, you can use this service at all London airports with the exception of London City Airport (LCY) which doesn't have a fast-track option. This tends to cost £5 at all airports apart from at Heathrow Airport where it is about £12.50.

  • I’m flying to Cape Verde to visit the Morro Negro lighthouse, where should I fly to?

    To fly to this historical landmark, you should look for flights to Rabil Airport (BVC). From here you can easily drive to the lighthouse in approximately 50min. If you were to fly to another airport in Cape Verde, you would have to get a ferry to get to the lighthouse, which would make your journey a lot longer.

  • Where can I find the car hire desks at Praia Nelson Mandela Airport?

    Most car hire companies at Praia Nelson Mandela Airport have their offices conveniently located near the Baggage Claim area. You can book online with KAYAK, so that after you've collected your bags, all you have to do is head to the desk and present your paperwork. Vehicles are generally located on-site at the car park, which is within walking distance of the terminal.

  • Are there taxis available at Praia Nelson Mandela Airport?

    You will usually find plenty of taxis available at the airport, and can expect to pay around CVE 1000 (about GBP 7.80) to get from the airport to the city centre. This is generally the standard fare, regardless of where in the city you’re heading. There may also be an additional charge for luggage.

  • Are there buses at Praia Nelson Mandela Airport?

    Unfortunately, there is no official public transport service offering buses from the airport to Praia. However, there are sometimes informal transport services, similar to buses, which carry larger groups of people. These are usually less expensive than taxis, with a minimum fare of roughly CVE 100 (approximately GBP 0.78). Your hotel may also offer a complimentary shuttle.

  • Which airport should I fly to if I want to visit Maio?

    Maio doesn't have an international airport, so if you're flying from the UK, you'll need to arrive at Praia Nelson Mandela Airport. From here, you can take a connecting domestic flight to Maio Airport (MMO), which takes around 20 minutes. These flights are usually operated by Bestfly Cabo Verde. Alternatively, you can take a ferry between Praia and Maio which takes roughly 2 h 30 min.

  • Can I fly directly from the UK to Boa Vista?

    There are direct flights from the UK to Rabil Airport (BVC) in Boa Vista from multiple UK airports via TUI Airways. These include London Gatwick Airport, Birmingham Airport (BHX) and Manchester Airport. Flights from Manchester Airport usually run twice per week while flights from Birmingham and Gatwick generally run three times per week. From Boa Vista, you can get to most other major destinations in Cape Verde via either flights or ferries.

  • Is car hire available at Amílcar Cabral International Airport in Boa Vista?

    If you plan to drive around Boa Vista, consider picking your vehicle up at Amílcar Cabral International Airport (SID). Hertz has a staffed desk at the airport, and other companies may offer meet-and-greet services. From the airport, it takes around 10 minutes to drive into Espargos.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from the United Kingdom to Cape Verde up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Cape Verde flight deals.
  • British citizens do not need a visa to travel to Cape Verde as they will be granted a 30-day tourist visa upon arrival. You will need to pay the airport security tax before you arrive though, which can be done online. This costs in the region of 3400Esc (£30). Your passport also needs to be valid for at least six months from when you enter the country.
  • For those that are heading to Cape Verde for carnival, then you will find that flight costs tend to increase around this time. Held on the same day as Shrove Tuesday each year, the week prior to this date also tends to be full of festivities. If you are not planning on attending the event, then it is probably better to travel during an alternative week to save money.
  • If you’re planning on hiring a car once you arrive at an airport in Cape Verde, then you need to make sure that you’re up-to-date with the rules of the road. For instance, everyone in the car needs to wear a seat belt. Whilst there are no rules for children, it is advised that any child under the age of 12 or smaller than 150cm is in a suitable child seat, especially if in the front seat.
  • If you want to visit the tourist attraction of Shark Bay in Sal, Cape Verde, then you should fly to Espargos Airport (SID). From the terminal building it is only about a 13min drive to the shark conservation area.
  • There are several airports in Cape Verde that you can fly to, making this a great tourist destination. In general, it’s cheaper to fly to Espargos Airport (SID), whilst the most expensive route is to San Pedro Airport (VXE).
  • Turnhouse Airport (EDI) and Manchester Airport (MAN) both offer one-stop flights to multiple Cape Verde Airports including Sal, Praia Nelson Mandela Airport (RAI) and San Vicente. Most other major UK airports involve at least two stops and may involve self-transfers.
  • As Cape Verde was a Portuguese colony between 1462 and 1975, Portugal's flag carrier TAP Air operates frequent flights between Portugal and Cape Verde. There are relatively few direct flights between the UK and Cape Verde, so you'll often find the cheapest flights offered by TAP Air, as they also frequently operate flights between the UK and Portugal. These flights frequently stop at their main hub, Lisbon Airport (LIS) and depart from London Heathrow (LHR), London Gatwick (LGW), Manchester and Edinburgh.
  • TAP Air, Royal Air Maroc and TUI Airways allow passengers to bring 10 kg of cabin luggage for this route. TAP Air includes up to 23 kg of checked luggage on Basic Economy fare. If you fly with TUI checked luggage must be booked separately. Royal Maroc Air usually allows two pieces of checked luggage that weigh up to 23 kg each.

Reasonably comfortable. We were about an half an hour late. But no personal impact. Seats upfront have a good amount of recline, but do not lay down flat. Food and drink can be improved. There are no soft drinks available on the flights. Water, juices, and wines are provisioned.

Reasonably comfortable. We were about an half an hour late. But no personal impact. Seats upfront have a good amount of recline, but do not lay down flat. Food and drink can be improved. There are no soft drinks available on the flights. Water, juices, and wines are provisioned.

Flight on time. Staff pleasant and responsive. Food could be much better. Snack before landing was a few dry crackers and a drink. Nothing else. There was a very lumited selection of beverages available on a 7 hour flight. No soft drinks, even in the front cabin.

Delayed departure of one hour and half, inflight entertainment NOT functioning. Plane did not crash and I arrived alive, so I guess it was a good flight.

This was a long flight - 6 hours - and nothing is truly comfortable for that long... but the flight crew was friendly and attentive. The airport in the Azores is small but we weren't there long enough to explore any amenities.

There is one flight a day and it was canceled with no explanation

Flight was ok. Food on way there great a pork dish way back tuna and pasta was not good. Flight attendants were great. Wish they had more soda options like ginger ale seltzer water. Good experience overall. Worst part of trip was car rental Klass company car broke down we were on side of road late night 4 hours awful awful experience all they wanted was 500 euros for help to come absolutely horrible experience we were scared side of highway they offered zero help!

Coming from USA it was nice to be treated nice for a change. Even though our flight was pretty short we were served breakfast. On time flight with very caring staff. Please teach American carriers how to treat people.

More space between seats and in bathroom. I don’t think there was any entertainment offered. If there was, I wasn’t aware.

Every meal/snack included something with ham/pork - even the cookies had "swine fat" (which we only knew because we thoroughly checked the ingredients). There were no vegetarian options, and we had not been given the option of pre-selecting a meal when purchasing our tickets or checking in. That made for a VERY long flight. We were fortunate that we had brought our own snacks as back-up.

Waited in line for hours just to get a boarding pass which would not print at the kiosk or load on my iPhone. Waiting again for about 45 minutes to get through passport control. Poorly managed airport. The flight and crew were great and the flight was very comfortable.

First time and I enjoyed the trip…. Will fly again soon 🔜

I’m still missing my bags. I’m soo frustrated

TAP boarding gate agents singled out Group A line to gate check all carry on bags …. Supposedly because of lack on bin space. BUT ALL OTHERS WERE PERMITTED WITH CARRY ON BAGS. Additionally so many passengers entering the plane after us were permitted carry on bags. And when the plane was fully loaded, there was a number of open spaces in the overhead bins. I WILL SEARCH OTHER OPTIONS BEFORE FLYING TAP AGAIN

Boarding went fast. Lisbon's gates are too small for the flights they serve.

Worst: long walk to baggage claim Best: left on time

Got in on time. Food was the worst ever. Comfort was terrible. Check in was incredibly bad.

The flight schedules are better than some airlines. Their website is terrible, it doesn’t store any information so every time you fly you have to re-enter the data. The flight was late taking off but we still got to our destination on time.

Flight delayed by >1 hour. Long boarding involving riding a shuttle to the plane.

When I tried to enter my identity details, your app told me information was missing but did not highlight the missing data. This was frustrating. Also, there was an unexplained delay of about 2 hours in taking off. This was also frustrating. Otherwise the experience was good.

Crew woke me up to see if I wanted food - NEVER want food on a 12 hour flight more than I want to sleep. Sleep was not easy, as a child screamed and threw fits 70%of the flight. That same child kicked my seat most of the flight. BUT, despite the child and a poor boarding effort, the rest was solid. The crew worked hard otherwise - just don’t wake me up IF I actually get to sleep.

There were a lot (4 I think) of EasyJet flights leaving Agadir, we arrived two and a half ours before our flight. Very slow to get through the booking in, passport control and security!! We had booked in on line but had to Queue with others who had not to drop our bags off!,

I was hesitant to book with a low cost airline due to previous experience but Easy Jet surpassed my expectations. I would definitely book a flight with them again! Seemless booking, upfront about baggage fees, professional, and helpful staff.

Kayak sent several notifications that the flight was late. This contradicted the information on the airport boards. This was extremely confusing and we very nearly missed the flight purely because we double checked with the info desk when the flight stays said’closed’. Kayak notifications are therefore unreliable and pointlesa

Usual issues with flight delay. Perennial problem of travel by plane.

i didnt go this was a hacker booked this flight on my debit card !

Delayed almost 2 hours sitting on plane. No updates at all from flight deck and virtually no updates from cabin crew

Long delay resulted in my being unable to catch a train home and resulted in an additional £76 cost for an Uber

I was charged at the gate for bags I had already paid for. There was no other option. I am trying diligently thought easyJet website but making no progress HELP!

Be sure to check bags for 23 kg,.(50 lbs) Coming from US I chose the wrong size luggage weight when I checked in on my phone, and had to pay more when I dropped it off

The flight was delayed for over 1 hour. The boarding process is appalling making you wait for 30 minutes in the passage leading to the outside door without any seats.

The 737-8 is too small for the length of flight especially if there are any delays

The flight was delayed over 2 hours, we should off left the plane2 late passengers as it’s not fair on everyone who’s followed the rules.

Dreamliner. Yes great if maintained. I didn't see anyones screen work consistently during either of our flights. Worse was their ability to not only dump you out of premium but separate couples and seat someone's carer at the opposite end of the aircraft. This poor gentleman had no hand so his partner who assists him, being seated at the other end of the aircraft, well that really showed us all what Tui think :( It was fairly dire all in all, they advertise all the perks of the dreamliner only in reality you don't have the features and they change the windows and colours to suit their constant sales pitches. Ironically they were so low on stock for the return flight that all their sales pitches were a waste of time! Their contract only favours them and 'operational changes' well they cover every excuse and Tui use it. Surprisingly we haven't reinstalled the Tui app or booked with them since. It's a shame as I rated them highly during the pandemic.

One flight attendant not wearing a mask over nose, 50% of passengers not either, and no effort to correct. Boarding was very late with no information - lots of standing around waiting.

I love how the airline gave accommodation as a result of my nine hour layover. The service at the hotel was great.

It will be my last choice to fly this airline It was the first time to fly with them Everything extremely bad Nothing good about them Very filthy Bad service Bad food quality Bad boarding Very bad lounge. Actually it doesn’t meet the definition of lounge

Plane is dirty Food quality poor Service was not good Lounge extremely bad

There were a lot of hidden fees I paid extra for my luggage at JFK which was my leaving point and I also had to pay another extra at the Casablanca’s airport for my carry on and my backpack which is insane, when i refused to pay they threatened to call airport’s security on me. And they actually lost my luggage once I got to my destination. I seriously will not fly with this company anymore from now on and I advise you to do the same

Check in process is terrible, only one counter opens to serve over hundred passengers, agents are incompetent and took too long to get passengers boarding passes. Supervisor is no help neither. On board entertainment 90% monitors were defective.

Check-in could have been a little early and I wished the airline would have serve some better real food rather than serving a very hard bread for a 8hrs flight.

Long delayed that cause missing my connection. Accommodation and food at the Casablanca airport was horrible

Educate your crew members they need to understand what their job is and customers service and be human.

Comfort and organisational prowess of the entire crew. Baggage handling can be better. No had all my luggages after 6days of the flight.

This was the worst experience ever. It was such chaos at boarding due to boarding zone and letting everyone with children and strollers go first. Once the plane door closed they didn’t let us know why we were not moving until after 30 mins of sitting on the plane. Then ANOTHER 2 hours passed with no other communication or update as to why we were still sitting on the plane. 2 and half hours of sitting on a plane! When I ask a flight attendant what was the delay he gave ALOT of attitude and said he don’t know what’s going on. This flight attendant was soooo rude to customers to the point one lady was telling him how rude he was. I also felt other flight attendants spoke to the people who spoke their language; I am an American so this was also upsetting. The food was horrible, I only ate the bread. We finally landed and we almost missed our connecting flight. We was able to run and make out next flight within 30 mins. Our flight from Casablanca to Marrakech was quick. BUT here is where I was really UPSET. They left everyone luggage who was on the flight in Casablanca. We went to baggage claim and they had Attitudes! How are you mad with us for losing our bags, I don’t get it. We had to wait for the next flight to come in with our bags. The baggage claim guy said they wouldn’t deliver our bags to our hotel because of past experiences; now we have to pay for another cab to come back! They had so much luggage outside of baggage claim I can see this was happening to a lot of people. They said they would email us once our bags arrived. He told us the next flights coming in (which I researched myself and he gave the wrong times!). We took a cab to our hotel to wait. I seen my bag was at RAK airport (because of my AirTag) 4 hours later but no email from baggage claim. I waited two more hours and still no email letting us know it arrive! We missed dinner plans! We went to airport and got our bags (security at RAK was rude to us and had us walking all around in order to get to baggage claim). I will NEVER fly with Royal Air Maroc ever in life, even if it means I can’t fly to other countries that I would love to visit since this ruined my friends birthday already. I PRAY our flight back home is wayyy better. This is no way to treat people. I fly frequently so I know how airlines should treat people and Royal does not!
