Airlines flying from Madeira to Azores

Who flies from Madeira to Azores? Azores Airlines. Between them the route runs several a week. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your date and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.

Departure: Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo Airport (FNC)

Your journey starts at Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo Airport (FNC). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Buses link the airport with Funchal and some resorts, but they are slow with luggage and do not reach most hotels; a private car is the simple choice for Funchal hotels, the west coast, Santana or the mountains, since the island has no train.

• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Madeira to Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo Airport
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo Airport

Arrival: Ponta Delgada Airport (Azores) (PDL) and getting into Azores

The flight lands at Ponta Delgada Airport (Azores) (PDL). The Azores are the green volcanic islands of the mid-Atlantic, with crater lakes, hot springs and whale watching. From arrivals you have taxis, public transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Madeira to Azores journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Madeira to Azores flight

On board, the Madeira to Azores flight is about 2 hours: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Madeira to Azores

Families fly the Madeira to Azores route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Azores when you land

Sete Cidades twin lakes, Vista do Rei viewpoint, Terra Nostra Garden, Furnas fumaroles and Poça da Dona Beija hot springs are what most passengers come to Azores for. The Azores are the green volcanic islands of the mid-Atlantic, with crater lakes, hot springs and whale watching. Eat Queijadas of Vila Franca, Azorean pineapple and Cozido das Furnas stew cooked underground while you are there.

If you want the days in Azores organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it through WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Madeira to Azores

Flights from Madeira to Azores run all year, several a week. May to September is warmest and driest, with the best viewpoint days; winter is mild but wet and windy, and mountain roads can be in cloud at any time of year. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Azores to Madeira

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Azores to Madeira booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Madeira to Azores?

"How much is the Madeira to Azores flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your travel date shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Madeira to Azores flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Madeira to Azores: how to pay less

A cheap Madeira to Azores flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day

When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Madeira to Azores flight first, then the alternatives.
