London to faro - 2017

Trying to find some flights for end of May 2017 but most are indirect, even BA, other than stanstead which I'd rather not travel to. Does anyone know if it could be the case that flight details are not released this early for certain flights? I find it hard to believe that BA wouldn't fly direct to such a popular place from gatwick.

    I tried for one seat, you may be looking for more. Very expensive it's a peak travel time, will you want to hire a car? If so try a BA flight+car deal.

    Not sure why my search didn't show that! Very expensive, other options will be explored. Unsure about car.

  • Easyjet will be flying that route but I don't think they have released May flights yet. I flew Gatwick to Faro this May with Easyjet, £67 return. Booked about 7 weeks before.

    Was that in or out of school term time? It makes a massive difference.
