Madeira FNC
Cheap flights from Madeira depend on how far you are flying: Lisbon and Porto are the short hops, while Katowice, Warsaw, Budapest, Krakow, Chisinau and Amsterdam take longer. FNC is the only airport in the city, so every departure and arrival uses it. The route mix is mostly mainland Portugal plus Central and Eastern European cities, with Amsterdam among them. Low-cost and full-service carriers both use Madeira, and what the fare includes changes by airline and ticket type, so check baggage, seat selection and meals before you book. A cheap base fare may cover only a cabin bag.

Getting to the city
The cheapest way into the city from FNC is the airport bus, though it will not suit every arrival time. Taxis and pre-booked transfers cost more and buy you a direct run; if you land late, confirm the last bus or arrange a car in advance. Driving yourself is possible, but the road is winding and parking in the centre can be tight, so allow extra time. Avoid unmarked taxis and anyone offering a ride in the terminal; use the signed rank or a booked transfer instead.
