Jet2 announces extra flights to Madeira for cheap autumn holidays

Yorkshire airline and travel agent Jet2.com has announced extra flights to the Portuguese island of Madeira.

The island, which enjoys average daily temperatures of between 20 and 22°C in October and November, is one of the best value autumn sun holiday islands.

According to the Post Office's Islands in the Sun Barometer, Madeira is the cheapest for meals, drinks and other tourist items with an average daily cost of £65.53.

Everyday items such as a cup of coffee, suncream and an evening meal are much cheaper on the island off the North African coast than they are on eight other European and Caribbean holiday islands.

You can fly to Madeira from Leeds Bradford Airport and seven other UK airports: Birmingham, Edinburgh, East Midlands, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and London Stansted.

And extra flights will now take off from Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Glasgow.

"With Madeira on sale from eight UK bases (Birmingham, Edinburgh, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and London Stansted) this autumn, customers have plenty of choice and flexibility when it comes getting an unbeatable value break on the Portuguese island."
