Good to know
Madeira is on the same time as the UK all year: GMT in winter and GMT+1 in summer, with the clocks changing on the same days. A 09:00 departure from Gatwick lands around 13:00 local time in Funchal.
Jet2 flies from 13 UK airports, from Newcastle and Edinburgh down to Bournemouth, with Gatwick from 26 October 2026. easyJet flies from Gatwick, Luton, Bristol and Manchester, Ryanair from Stansted and Manchester, and British Airways from Gatwick.
The airport sits between the mountains and the sea and is known for strong gusts. On windy days landings can be delayed, and flights are sometimes diverted to Porto Santo or the mainland. Leave some slack on travel days.
