Binter will connect Fuerteventura and Madeira

[Sam]

Binter will launch new route between Fuerteventura and Madeira.

Flights will take place every Monday. From June 1 to June 29, the plane will depart from Funchal airport at 12.30 pm and will land at the FUE airport at 14.10. It will depart from Fuerteventura at 2.40 p.m., and land in Madeira at 4.15 p.m.

Between 6th July and 7th September, flights from Madeira to Fuerteventura will depart at 19.30, to land an hour and forty minutes later at the FUE airport. Returning back to Funchal at 21.40 hours, landing in Madeira at 23.15 hours.

We went to Madeira in February with Binter, via Gran Canaria. I can well recommend the island as a holiday destination from Fuerte!

If you just want a quick visit and not stay the week needed for the direct Fue/Funchal flights, Binter are also flying from Lanzarote on a similar schedule to the Fue flights but on Sundays, 3 days a week during this period from Tenerife North and every day from GC, so plenty of options!

Although you don't get resident's discount (Madeira is Portugese) your Binter ticket includes 20kg suitcase, you can choose your seat, and you get an inflight snack. (Ours was a tuna sandwich (no choices), chocolate wafer, cup of fruit juice.)

Binter are really pushing this hard in Madeira, giving Fuerte good publicity as a holiday destination for the Madeirans.

According to some majoreros I have spoken to, Madeira was always considered their 'go to' place for honeymoons!

Last few years have been planing to go there, always overbooked with other trips. Finally booked tickets for this summer, looking forward the trip.

LPA (Gran Canaria) is probably your second best choice if you don't want to stay the whole week.

Because there's no discount, Binter will be trying as hard as possible, methinks.
