If you've yet to acquire a bottle of quality port from the supermarkets for sipping into oblivion on Christmas Day, you might consider holding off and putting the cash toward a cheap flight direct to the Duoro valley instead. Just in time for early bird bookers, Ryanair has announced that it will be launching a new route next summer, flying non-stop from Bristol to Porto.
Ryanair will be running three weekly flights to Portugal’s second-largest city from April 2 2023. The route will operate on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday, taking just two hours to jet holidaymakers 755 miles to the coastal city.
Departure times are scheduled at 9.21pm on Sunday evenings, 9.15am on Tuesday mornings and 9.55pm on Friday nights. Depending on the time of year, prices run up to £75.99 and journeys are currently bookable until October 27.
