The Wedding Website of Maria Constance Meyer and Andrew Alexander Harris
Welcome to Madeira, a small piece of Portugals archipelago off the coast of Morocco. There is only one airport on the island, (FNC). There is one direct flight on United from the United States (Newark EWR). There are however, many options to connect through cities in Europe for maximum efficient travel into Madeira. ****** We HIGHLY recommend traveling in a few days early (05/24/2027) to make sure you are settled and ready for the first event. Please consider departure at least one day after the last event. ***** Most travel will connect you through Europe and then down to FNC. If you connect on a smaller EU airline, please ensure your connection time and baggage is re-checked when you enter the first port in Europe. Please consider your arrival and departure in Madeira for buffer room in case of misconnections and jet lag.

US airlines & TAP air portugal

Flights

The best options for getting to Madeira are Major US Airlines and TAP Air Portugal. Keep in mind, Madeira is an island off the coast of Portugal. While US airlines won’t fly directly to the island, there are plenty of European airlines that can get you there in time to celebrate with us! The easiest route is to fly into Lisbon, Portugal, and then catch a connecting flight to Madeira with airlines like TAP. Traveling by boat isn’t really an option, so air travel is the way to go. Enjoy your flight to Madeira! Did you know? Madeira Airport is famous for its challenging landings—pilots need special training because the runway is only 5,774 feet long and partially extends over the ocean on a series of pillars.

Quick Tips

Lisbon Airport requires more connection time (<2 hours).

Easyjet, Ryanair, Transavia will not allow US sized luggage onboard. Please ensure you pay for your bag in the "Hold" prior to check in. Early morning flights into FNC are ideal, when weather conditions and wind are lighter. FNC airport only has one runway, we recommend a window seat on the RIGHT side of the aircraft for the descent in! (this will show the whole island upon approaching before they make the U turn for landing.
