Portugal offers tempting winter sun with direct flights from Newcastle, making it a popular destination with tourists, including half-term holidaymakers set to jet off this month.
There are year-round flights from Newcastle International Airport to Faro, in the Algarve region of mainland Portugal, and Funchal, a city in the Portuguese-owned island of Madeira, which is off the coast of northwest Africa.
There are slightly different rules for tourists heading to the mainland or Madeira, including a lower age limit in Madeira's mask requirement compared to continental Portugal.
