Faro airport!
Hi All
I am finding a lot of conflicting information on faro at the moment. Couple of quick questions:
Is the lounge open and if not are there any options that are BA inclusive?
Secondly for check in if bags is it the standard 2 hours and not a minute before to check in luggage?
Thanks
Matt

You can normally find this information in MMB or the BA App, go to the flight details, check-in, other ways to check-in and it normally provides the timetable there.

Yes, my memory of it is dreadful and tiny ... There's quite a large pretty new area with many catering outlets now airside after the non Schengen passport checks .. lots of decent food outlets and plenty seating .. Sure you've got to pay for the stuff, but it's much better than the lounge ever was !

The new Faro lounge is definitely not the worst in Europe. Its not much but there are worse. But, as correctly pointed out, it has been closed since Covid. As with most places, flights and passengers have returned in earnest but facilities and staff have not.
The new food court is really not bad. Theres the usual Burgers, Subway, Sandwich and Pastry stores and a new sports bar and pub on the way from the departure lounge to the gates.
