When you are looking for flights to the Algarve in the most conventional search engines, your options will always provide a landing at Gago Coutinho Airport in Faro. If you are in Portugal and want to travel by plane to Faro, you can choose to make the Lisbon-Faro route with TAP, as you can do the Porto-Faro route, with Ryanair. However, there is another way to reach the plane Algarve for 40 euros and without landing in Faro.
To the Portimão Aerodrome only airplanes arrive between birth and sunset. There are no night flights, but as long as there is daylight, there are planes coming and out. The city center that is known above all by its crystal clear beaches is about five kilometers from the aerodrome. Now, if you are in Portugal and want to travel by plane to the Algarve, you are not required to go to Faro.
