Ryanair has announced it will boost the number of flights between the UK and Portugal over the coming weeks - with 14 additional flights to Faro every week from twelve UK airports.

The move follows Portugal’s sharp decline in Covid cases and the UK’s announcement to place it on the list of countries UK holidaymakers can visit.

To celebrate, Ryanair has launched a seat sale with fares from £19.99 one way across the UK to Portugal network for travel between September 11 and October 24, 2020.

The airline say the fares are some of the lowest ever offered for last-minute travel and have urged UK customers looking to book a long-awaited getaway should book on Ryanair.com by midnight Thursday, August 27, to avoid missing out.
