A spike in pent-up demand from travelers sent air fares reaching a peak of ‘green list’ destinations, especially to Portugal.
The BA departure from Heathrow to Faro, the airport under the Algarve, was added during the day after the last flights had sold out, with fares peaking to £530 for the three-hour flight.
Airlines are rapidly filling capacity to Faro and other important places. From 29 May, British Airways is launching new routes to the Algarve airport from Edinburgh, Manchester and Newcastle.
