Cheap flights from Liverpool to Madeira

Book about six weeks ahead for better prices, since October sees fewer travellers and shorter queues than July and August. School holidays push demand up and fares higher on this route. November through March tends to be calmer for departures from Liverpool John Lennon airport.

Jet2 and Easyjet keep tickets light with limited included baggage but charge extra for checked bags, seats and priority boarding. Aer Lingus includes a hold bag in most economy fares and charges less for seat selection on its single daily connection via Dublin. All three carriers serve the route direct or once through depending on your schedule.

You land at Madeira airport just outside Funchal, roughly ten minutes from the city centre by taxi or local bus. The road runs alongside the coastline so traffic can build briefly during evening peaks. Renting a car gives you access to the hills but leaves luggage space tight for longer stays.
