Many airlines have updated schedules to and from Lisbon while BA and Ryanair are main the way in plans for flights to Faro, as the ‘travel ban’ imposed by Portugal is expired on April 15.
In the case of those leaving Portugal for the UK, the requirement for negative PCR tests and quarantine remains in place.
For individuals traveling in the opposite direction, those who have been fully vaccinated are almost certain to be allowed straight through (though Portugal authorities have yet to explain this).
As for details, BA’s site shows it is resuming a weekly flight from Heathrow into Faro from next April 24.
Ryanair will be flying the first flight into Faro this Friday from Manchester – but this appears to be a one-off as their next flight from Manchester to Faro is only on May 17.
In the meantime, Ryanair is resuming a London flight to Faro on May 7 whereas easyJet is restarting London flights from May 17.
The rest will largely depend on how the epidemiological situation in Portugal develops, especially if Portugal makes it onto the ‘green list’ under England’s “traffic-light” system.
