Big expansion going on now at Faro. I fly through here frequently, and the airport has experienced steady growth. Many more French people are visiting the Algarve recently , so French Links seem to be up. TAP will increase FAO-LIS from 3 to 4 per day this year.
 
Re Faro, i must have flown into and out of this airport more than 300 times since the mid 1970s and have seen the many manifestations of this airport and aircraft types, including my first visit in a DanAir Comet, through Boeing 707s to Air Atlantis who always used to give pax a Portuguese liquor before take off!!

Great to see it doing so well. I was there this week and marvelling at the design of the expanded airport. However, in all its manifestations i still believe the interim phase (probably circa 1985-90) when you could get out onto the roof and drink cool beer as you plane landed was about the best.

5 trips done and 45 miles walked,. Also the RAF has had 4 F35B Lightning follow me yesterday and today....
My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.
wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out
