Travel Insurance

It is vital you have travel insurance when travelling abroad, especially when you are playing golf. Unfortunately, airlines often lose golf clubs and we recommend you are covered to avoid the expense and possible upset of your holiday.

Flights to Faro

Flights to Faro, Portugal are well served by a number of different airlines, from major and regional UK airports. We have put together a list below of the UK operators that fly to Faro. Here are a few tips to finding the cheapest flights.

• Make sure you book early.
• If you can be flexible with your dates, you can often find a really good deal.
• Also, don’t assume you have to book both outbound and inbound legs of your journey with the same airline. For example, both easyJet and Ryanair fly to Faro at almost the same time, so check both prices.
• If flying with a budget carrier, remember to add on the costs of taking golf clubs, they are usually quite expensive.
• British Airways still carry golf clubs for free, remember this when comparing flight prices.
• Save time by searching all the airlines at once using SkyScanner.net

Airport Parking

Airport parking is another consideration before you go on holiday. We have often left our car in the long stay car parks and ended up paying a much higher rate than if we had booked. With this in mind, we want to pass this information on to you and we definately recommend booking your airport parking in advance, saving you as much as 40% off the gate prices.
