Ryanair announced its 2024 summer schedule at the end of November in 2023, offering three million seats to Hungarians and travelers to Hungary, but at the time the new routes were not yet available on the booking system.

Fact

Faro is a municipality, the southernmost city, in the Algarve region of Portugal. It is one of Portugal’s most favored coastal cities and also one of Europe’s sunniest places, where residents and travelers seeking winter sun get to enjoy around 300 sunny days every year. There is an archaeological museum and a “Bishops’ Palace,” a Renaissance cathedral that was heavily bombed during World War II, but later rebuilt. Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It is situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches and nightlife.
