Find cheap flights to Faro (FAO), Portugal

Travel Information About Faro

Faro, on the Algarve Coast of Portugal's southern flank, is a long time favourite getaway for sun-seekers. Since the 1960s, the British and other Northern European holidaymakers have flocked to the region's Mediterranean climate, stunning beaches, deep valleys and easy way of life. Nowadays, summer visitors double the region's population to nearly one million, and many have purchased property here and live in The Algarve full time.

Cheap flights to Faro, the capital of The Algarve, are thankfully plentiful. Roughly 5.5 million travellers a year easily find cheap tickets to the Faro International Airport (FAO), making it Portugal's second busiest gateway after Lisbon. About 30 low-cost airlines fly into Faro on a regular basis from over 20 airports in the UK and numerous airports in Northern Europe. These cheap flights become even cheaper during the winter off-season (which is still sunny and relatively warm).

The approximately 155 kilometres of The Algarve Coast is often called the Garden of Portugal since its dry, fertile climate is a major producer of oranges, carob, figs and almonds, not to mention seafood. The Algarve is also a firm favourite with golfers, with its great variety of golf courses, all of which boast spectacular scenery.

Most travellers rent a car at the Faro Airport (FAO) and speed off to The Algarve's famous beach resorts like Quarteira, Praia da Rocha, Lagos and Albufeira, or the spa town of Caldas de Monchique, bypassing the bustling capital of about 40,000. But Faro is worth a look, with its classical Iberian architecture and historical sites. Faro airport is only about seven kilometres from downtown, and near the large Ria Formosa lagoon, a nature reserve of over 160 square kilometres and a major stomping ground for hundreds of migratory bird species.
