easy jet doing return to Faro at £112 return from Bristol landing at 1pm Thursday returning Sunday leaving at 8pm

Ryanair around the 188 mark but they land at 10am. Problem with rynair is seat booking is compulsory when you check in online which is also compulsory both of which are chargable at time of checking. We just found that out today when her indoors checked in to go home for a few weeks to visit family!! Ryanair hiding charges everywhere

No idea if easyjet add charges at check in as never used them

I've used easyjet, never had extra charges before. Say your price and that's it. Ryanair known for hidden charges, they charge for everything.

well done my research and im booking Monday!

Worried about hidden extras but apart from fuel price of £479 seems to be it.

Extras are

Fuel (cans rented from NL)
Flights (easyjet £112 at present)
Insurance
Possibly diners (beer for you louts)

Hire car or taxi


if more come then hire car is very cheap option

All in all got to be worth it and still 6 months so plenty of time to save!

So who else is up for it?

Car hire is a must so is a Sat nav to find your way to and from track etc Looking at cheap cars, hoping a few go so split costs, have 2 sat navs both with Europe maps! have to carry spare as I always get lost

Food is cheap ish there is a all you can eat Chinese buffet up the road !! A few pubs and clubs I only drink coffee so probably the nominated driver! Chinese is good for me :)

Obviously need snacks etc at track there was a canteen open when I was there

Easy jet seems to be best option so booking this week cant wait, Ned Flanders is coming too with his better half!

If non riders wish to come (partners etc) its £25 per person per night so basically £75 for the 3 nights. Booked through NL.


Spoke to NL and they put 3 Portugal track weekends up for sale not long ago. First 2 sold out already, this one is filling up and they expect to sell out within a couple of weeks or so.

So if you fancy coming along £200 secures your place! Hot air doesnt 8-}

All booked. Im going with my mrs and son, but gonna stay for the week. Thats wednesday to wednesday.
The costs were £281 total for the hotel, thats bed and breakfast for the three of us. Thats secured with a £1 deposit
The flights cost £106 each return. Thats with easyjet flying from bristol.
That doesnt include hold luggage tho. That costs £35 per 20kg case. But to be honest, the hand luggage allowance is plenty big enough for a few days clothes.
Four Counties insurance offer the compulsory repatriation insurance. About £70 for five days EU cover.
Look forward to seeing you there, if not before.
