Where is in the world is Funchal Madeira and how do you get there if you're leaving on a cruise?

mpbear, just thought I'd ask, is there a cruise in your future from Funchal that you are thinking about?

Several years ago the only way to get there was Air Portugal from Lisbon. Don't know what airlines fly there now. ![[Linked Image]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/bettywh/madeira.jpg)

Also, British Airways has nonstop flights from London Gatwick for $136. The 7:15am flight time however would require an overnight in London. If that is an option you might want to check into it.

We loved Funchal, even though it was the worst wind/rain storm they had had in years.
The sidewalks are paved in mosaic, like Lisbon, the people friendly.
Enjoy!

Hi Frances,
Good to see you posting. It's been a while.
We're looking forward to seeing Funchal. Sounds like a very nice port. Hopefully, no rain/wind storms while we're there. What time of year did you visit?

Does anyone know the difference between coach and business class on TAP flying IN Europe? Their website shows 3 across seating in both classes unless trans-atlantic.
Thanks

I think they just leave the middle seat empty for biz class, at least that was the case on several flights I've had on smaller planes within Europe.
Editing to say, I didn't know you were talking about the airline TAP! I'm on the other crossing called TAP.

Sorry, for a minute I thought we did that on TAP, but I'm remembering wrong, we flew coach. But that's what Lufthansa did for us on connecting flights in Europe, leave the center seat empty.
