Travelling to Madeira in January costs four times less than December

The price of trips to Madeira drop sharply in January, making this the cheapest month to visit our island. By contrast, December is the most expensive month to travel to the Region. The findings are presented in an article published today in the Irish version of The Sun newspaper, which makes a comparative analysis of travel costs to various destinations, based on Momondo platform indicators.

So a trip from London to Madeira can go for 90 pounds (about 106 euros), when in December it cost 342 pounds (403 euros), almost four times more. A price disparity within a few weeks is not the only case. A very similar phenomenon is with Bari in Italy, where trips from the English capital cost 48 pounds (57 euros) in December and 210 pounds (247 euros) in January.

  1. It is what it is if you love Madeira you go when you can, it you pay more but can afford it you still go. if you pay less and can’t afford it you still go. If they stop the flights like they have stopped the ferries you swim? I would if I could Madeira is Magic the people are wonderful the food is Magnificent the island is heaven on earth. Love to all who live and visit Madeira. God bless xxx

  2. It is down to supply and demand. The supply of aircraft seats remains fairly constant over the year but the demand varies greatly. In the run up to Xmas demand is high and planes full. Now demand will reduce for a few weeks. So, offering cheap seats now is an attempt to fill seats. It does make business sense.

  4. Yes all depends when you book , we booked in April for 3 weeks in December and it was 125.00 return for 2 ?my sister booked in November for the same and got it for 157.00 return for 2 , my friend also booked and got it for 60 return for one

  6. Not at all expensive booking well ahead, i have a beach house in Machico, house rental and flight less than a £1000 for 4 weeks from December 14 to January 11. What a beautiful place Machico is and the people worth every penny

  7. I went from 13th to 20th December, flight booked in late September and paid exactly £84.98.
    However if I had booked 1 week before flying, my flight would have cost only £40.

    Flying in December is only expensive if you fly to the island after 23rd.

  8. Coming in February for our third visit! Booked in June got an excellent price. Hope the weather will be good!

  9. Well , think the tile is misleading , when you say 4 x less can be a little confusing
    Maybe a better way could be ,,,, about 25% of the December prices , in my mind 4x less is the opposite of 4x more , see where I’m coming from!?

  10. You pay more when you go on school holidays. When you go with a child of eleven years old and two adults you pay 1500 euro last christmas ,this is from the Netherlands

  12. That photo takes me back! I used to love the landings there in the 80’s & 90’s, usually on 727’s. Anyone remember Air Columbus?!

  13. My sister paid €1200 for 2 travelling from Dublin to Lisbon /Maderia on the 21st Dec to 3rd January. We paid £325 from London 16th decentury to 3rd Dec for 2 people.

  14. Danny, we were for the first time in Madeira in 1975 ! We stayed in Matur holiday houses Hotel Holiday Inn, near to airport at that time. We daily watched the airplanes approaching, mostly TAP. In don’t remember Air Colombus..
