The sale includes departures from Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Funchal, giving travellers the chance to reach dozens of European destinations at discounted prices. Whether you're planning a city break, a beach holiday or a weekend away, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Among the destinations included in the promotion are cities in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Poland and Croatia, as well as several other popular European destinations served by the airline.

As with most Ryanair sales, the lowest fares are only available on selected routes and travel dates, so travellers will have the best chance of finding the cheapest tickets by booking early and being flexible with their travel dates.

Whether you're travelling from the Algarve or elsewhere in Portugal, there's no shortage of options. Faro Airport is well connected during the summer months, while Lisbon and Porto offer an even greater selection of European destinations.

It's also worth keeping in mind that the advertised fare covers the basic ticket only. Extras such as priority boarding, cabin luggage, checked bags and seat selection can increase the final price, so it's worth checking the total cost before confirming your booking.

The promotion is available for a limited time and is subject to availability, meaning the cheapest seats are likely to disappear quickly, especially during the peak summer travel season.

If you're flexible about where you travel, these sales can be a good opportunity to discover places that aren't usually on your list. One of the advantages for travellers in Portugal is the choice of departure airports. Faro, Lisbon and Porto all offer numerous direct flights across Europe, so in many cases there's no need for a long drive or connecting flight before your holiday even begins.
