  2. Worst Airline i’ve ever travelled with, tired..old planes, dirty old fashioned uniforms, some unhelpful almost arrogant airline stewardesse and can’t keep to schedules. I was glad to get off the plane. Never again.

    1. You must be referring to a United Express flight operated by an affiliate along some obscure route. I’ve never experienced what you’ve mentioned and have flown United several dozen times. I can tell you that I felt as if I was in a time capsule my last flight withTAP from Funchal to Lisbon. The seats were worn, was filthy, and the plane was at least 20+ years old.

    1. There are around 50 airlines flying to Madeira. Around 2.5 million passengers every year. About 40 arrivals per day. On the occasions bad weather affects flights are those passengers happy?

    2. Hmm! “Americans won’t be happy being delayed by unpredictable weather????????” America is a large country with lots of weather patterns! Most of us are use to delays caused by snow, ice, poor visibility, winds, hurricanes, tornadoes for starters. For the most part Madeira has wind.

  4. For the Americans it will be a paradise to be in Madeira until they will gone missing on Levadas or will die falling down on the unsecured and unprepared paths! Then United will change their… destination 🙂

    1. As if there aren’t more dangerous unsecured hiking conditions in the Continental US, Hawaii, or Alaska. Not to mention the dangers associated with navigating many of the inner cities.

  5. Neil Diamond — Coming to Madeira…new song we are coming from America!!!Far
    We’ve been traveling far
    Without A home
    But not without a star
    Free
    Only want to be free
    We huddle close
    Hang on to a dream
    On the boats and on the planes
    They’re coming to Madeira
    Never looking back again
    They’re coming to Madeira
    Chorus:
    Home, don’t it seem so far away
    Oh, we’re traveling light today
    In the eye of the storm
    In the eye of the storm
    Home, to a new and shiny place
    Make our bed, and we’ll say our
    grace
    Freedom’s light burning warm
    Freedom’s light burning warm
