Cheap flights from Bristol to Madeira

Book well in advance if you want the lowest prices, since December tends to be the cheapest month on this route. Spring and early autumn generally see calmer demand than summer when school holidays bring more traffic. Christmas week and New Year often push fares higher across all carriers.

KLM Cityhopper and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines both connect through Amsterdam, adding a transfer to your journey. Loganair Limited flies from Edinburgh rather than Bristol, so you would need ground transport first. Easyjet and Jet2 operate low-cost services with basic fares that exclude extras. Aer Lingus provides full-service options on some dates.

Madeira Airport sits about twenty minutes from Funchal centre by road. Taxis wait outside arrivals and offer fixed rates to most hotels. The airport is small enough that you can walk through quickly, but allow extra time during peak periods when queues form at immigration.
