Bargain flights

Post by Guest »

Got so cheesed off with the price of flights to Faro for short notice trips this summer that I looked at Seville instead - Ryanair fly to there. (A return flight from Stansted 28th Dec to 2nd Jan is currently £168)

Anyone tried this as a route to Carvoeiro - or would it take too long to drive back into Portugal ? (Longer than driving from Lisbon, for example ?)

MyTravelLite always seem to be cheap we flew with them on a sunday last year to faro and they were far cheap than there rivals for a sunday in the main weeks return. It would be cheap to get a single out then by a single back from the airport just have whats going

So far the prices have been silly .... £460 down to £339; far more than I want to pay :cry:

I'll look at Seville or Lisbon. I suppose Seville is nearer?

Hi Mike

If you could fly from Leeds/Bradford you can pick up a flight going out on Thursday 22nd December 2005 returning on 8th January 2006 for £162.82. (incl taxes)

We have flown with them a few times and they seem ok.

Cheers

Flanny :)

It's a very easy drive from Lisbon airport down to the Algarve, straight down the motorway. Even I can manage it without getting lost and I have no sense of direction at all.

my friend regularly picks people up from Seville who come to see him. He says it's a 2.30 hour drive but the flights are much cheaper.

Flying out Thursday 22 December and returning Thursday 5 January with Monarch scheduled from Gatwick to Lisbon is £140 return including taxes

£186 return Gatwick to Faro with BA incl. taxes

£105 return Heathrow to Lisbon with BA this time Wed 21 to Jan 4 incl. taxes

By the way Lisbon to CVO took me 2 hours and the same vice versa.
