Your guide to booking Faro flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Faro, book around 5 weeks before departure. Based on KAYAK data from the last 12 months, fares are historically about 14% lower during this window than last-minute fares.
  • For flights to Faro, a good return fare is around £96. If you find a fare below that, you're getting a strong deal.
  • If your travel dates are flexible, consider flying to Faro in January. Return fares historically average £75, making January the cheapest month to travel based on KAYAK data from the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond an ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to afternoon to save up to £38 on a return flight. Afternoon flights to Faro average £138 compared to £176 for morning flights.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class, and route. On flights to Faro, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, Ryanair includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, easyJet includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, and Jet2 includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.

This airport lies 2.5 miles west of Faro, the capital city of southern Portugal’s Algarve region. Approximately 6.5 million passengers come through Faro airport every year, and it has recently become a hub for Ryanair.
  • Public transportation options to get to Faro city centre from the airport are limited to two bus lines operated by Proximo: lines 14 and 16. These lines take you to the bus station located in the city centre through the port city of Montenegro - the only difference being that line 14 only operates during the busiest times of the day. Bus fares are around 2.30 euros (£2) for a single ticket.
  • If you’re staying in another city while you explore Faro, you can get there via a local bus or train that leaves from the city’s central station.

Connecting trains are just steps away from the bus station at the Faro Railway Station for easy travel throughout the rest of Portugal.

The plane left early and arrived early - and not full. Cabin staff a delight. Only negative was pilots talk to us so feint and distorted couldn't make it out.

We arrived in Malaga early but had to park at the back of the airport. We had to wait for the steps to arrive as well as buses to take us to the terminal. They had trouble with getting the steps into position and time gained pin the flight was lost especially with the tour around the airport to get us to the terminal. Immigration procedure seemed to work this time.

Apart from the delay, it was very good. Crew were great and the plane was great - looked like a newer one.

Generally excellent but a couple of areas could be improved. After boarding we were delayed a full 20 mins whilst various ground crew, flight crew, captain faffed around counting and recounting passengers. Said discrepancy between computer and manual. All OK in the end. So why o why did it take 20 mins to find all OK? No sense of urgency shown Secondly the seat base is just not supportive/resilienfor a 4½ hour journey - backside really aching by journey end.

The staff are just so friendly travelling alone was a bit scary but they made me feel comfortable and nothing was to much bother I loved how one of the girls was talking to the old ladies she really took time thank you jet2 shame I can’t get home with u guys 🥲

On time flight. Reasonable comfortable but a bit cramped. Excellent jet 2 staff as usual.

A good flight with friendly crew and check-in but disembarking was chaotic and badly managed

Flights were on time, boarding was straight forward. Very good attentive staf

Delays on both journeys - only found out before geting to the airport as had created trip within Kayak.

There is nothing I can think.of that jet2 need to improve They offer a great package. Very efficient

All went smoothly. Got assisted travel which was easily arranged and delivered.

Smooth journey made good time. The aircraft was littered and did not look very presentable.

On time departure; arrived early into Faro. Air Malta operating flight, crew friendly and efficient.

I didn't know that all connecting flights require online check-in two hours in advance, so I was fined 55 euros. This is a lesson learned.

There isn’t any entertainment. The food and drink was available for a price. I didn’t buy any.

It would be nice to have power to charge phone.

Great flight, departed only 10 mins behind schedule off the aircraft and through security in less than 15 minutes. Love flying from Cardiff so easy a quick from entrance to duty free in less than 10 minutes 😀

Great flight very short… no food drink or tv but too quick to matter… I would recommend.

Usual RyanAir flight but disembarking was poor, no rear steps. The Faro Airport required lots of up step and down steps, no elevator Getting through passport control took 50 minutes in the EU line

Staff were friendly and flight was on time. Free drink and snacks would have been appreciated.

Easyjet staff very helpful at airport as I need assistance. Flight slightly delayed both ways but soon made up the difference.

Flight on time clean and good legroom, what more could you ask on a one hour flight

Lovely cabin crew. Prompt takeoff and early arrival in Pisa

There was a delay because they had to switch planes it wasn’t explained very well nor were there updates.

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.

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!

Very pleasant crew, working hard on a full plane. Delay by a broken seat. However crew made back 60% of the delay.

Boarding great. Didn’t eat or drink so can not comment.

The pilot did everything possible to make up the 35 minute delay. His communications were honest, prompt and positive throughout.

Staff were lovely. Seats could be wider/ more comfortable and late taking off

My baggage (1) didn’t arrive with me. I am waiting for it.

It was not British Air, we were put onto Air Portugal for our London to Lisbon leg.

Horrible leg room - coach seating with empty seat in middle on a 3 across seating. You buy business class for comfort which includes leg room. Absolutely no entertainment options either. Awful experience

The on flight entertainment system touch screen system and the USB charger did not work on multiple seats on least 4 seats an in different rows. The attendant tried to reset the system but was un successful. I couldn't change my phone to get my ticket for my next flight. This was an international flight I changed seats and the problem was the same. the flight attendant offered his power bank

Business class was nothing more than Economy with middle seat empty. Uncomfortable seat and leg room. A mom behind me had a 18 month/2 yr old on her lap, who had his feet on my back all the time- while middle seat remained empty. Pretty much not worth the fare. Very disappointed.

Once again I purchase a business class ticket and the seat is exactly the same as cattle class, the only difference being is that BA install a janky table over the middle seat so there is somewhere to place your complimentary drink, the tray table is just big enough for the small tray, so if you are not concerned about getting fed and watered on the plane or getting access to the BA lounge I would save your money and fly cattle, PS the cabin crew were exceptional in every way, shame about the equipment

When bussing people to/from the gate, don't pack everyone in like a can of sardines and don't send the bus on its way if the plane isn't ready. Waited for about 40 minutes packed in this bus...both ways!

A Perfect 2.5 hr flight. No amenities, but we did not expect any.

Delayed flight by 45 minutes. Need a refund to compensate for the subsequent itinerary changes

The flight was delayed and absolutely packed, we had to dispach our hand luggage which contained some fragile items, luckly nothing was damaged.

Far easier than I expected it to be. Checked in online & had our boarding passes emailed through. Straight through security & boarded on time. No issues.

Great crew. Seats do not recline :( but it is budget so i should have known. Otherwise comfy leather chair. Slight slim chair but again budget so expected. No entertainment do makes journey boring. Recommend packing plenty of snacks and games or download plenty of films and music in your device. Staff excellent. Clean flight. On time.

Both of my flights had issues with their time slot with air traffic control, so they left over an hour late and the flight back to London was delayed by over an hour. Please provide more clarity about baggage requirements on booking sites, your website and within the app. I had to pay for extra bags at the airport when departing London, because they didn’t specify that your carry on bag can only be a backpack and not a trolley, my trolley bag fit the size requirements of the backpack but still I was made to pay

The crew at Check-in was very helpful. It’s was appreciate.

Were delayed in the airport for 5 hours with no explanation. Flight kept getting delayed by an hour at a time and wizz air staff were no where to be found

The flight was delayed 5 hours and I'm and invalid,I wan a refund for this

4 hr delay and only told less than 2hrs before. Only given water and nuts on the flight as complimentary service. Left to wait in rain before boarding.

To be honest I did not like anything. Communication to why my flight was cancelled mid air 2 and half hours into my flight. Customer service desk were not helpful with providing information or a solution on what can be done.

What I liked new airplane Sitting was extremely uncomfortable! Crew not smiley at all Always chewing gum

The flight was cancelled just 4 hours before the take off...
