Cheap(er) flights to Faro

I don't know whether readers are aware that BMI Baby are re-commencing a twice weekly service (Tuesday & Saturday) from Cardiff to Faro in March 2005. At the moment prices seem quite reasonable e.g. £95 return in June which certainly beats the £200+ that we are normally charged!!

(More Euros to spend in A Gale', Imprevisto & Smiler's!!)

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to all in CVO

You see Cardiff isn't bad to fly from even if you come from my way but when you land on your return, I can never find my way out of Wales, the signposting is bizarre and the journey time home is twice what it took to get there - and to pre-empt the comments - have now done it many times all with male drivers and haven't got it right yet!!!!!!!!


Maddi :)

p.s. You don't suppose Croeso that they will put up signage saying "England this way" or maybe "Bristol this way" just for me??

Why not follow the signs for the M4?

When you get to junction 33 turn left to stay in Wales & turn right for the other place! Easy.

I don't think they could make it much easier - mind, I always find Bristol Airport a pig of a place to find!

Hi Croeso

Signs for the M4 coming out of cardiff airport simply didn't exist really last time I was there and of course I want the M5 and South West, at least you have the same problem, if you can't find Bristol Airport coming from Wales, there must be a shortage of signage :) .

Hi Maddi

I think that we can both agree on that point!

However, there are plans to upgrade both the road & rail links to Cardiff Airport which are long overdue.
