The passengers had unplanned visits to LPA (twice )and to Porto Santo (twice), all in 2 days. Passengers booking FNC on the BA LHR-FNC-LHR flights, should always have alternate and VERY flexible plans.
Porto Santo Island is very pleasant, lovely people, 9km sandy beach and less than 3 hrs by Ferry from Madeira
