Flying from East Midlands
East Midlands Airport is a regional hub between Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, dominated by Ryanair and Jet2 with TUI adding charter and package routes. The terminal sits 15 miles southwest of Nottingham and 13 miles west of Derby, with Skylink bus services connecting both. The route network is short-haul-only and skews holiday-leisure — Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy are the strongest corridors. Long-haul travellers usually drive to Manchester or Birmingham for a wider choice.
Arriving in Faro
Faro is the gateway to the Algarve, Portugal's southern coast — 4 km from Faro centre and within 90 minutes of the major resorts (Albufeira, Lagos, Vilamoura). Capacity is heavily seasonal: April–October sees daily flights from most UK airports, with prices peaking in school summer holidays. November–March schedules thin out; some routes pause entirely.
