Airlines & Tour Operators
Direct flights to Cape Verde airport are with TUI, the only UK airline offering direct flights to the islands. They fly to both Sal airport (Amilcar Cabral International Airport - SID) and Boa Vista airport (Aristedes Pereira Airport (BVC). The average Cape Verde flight time is around 6 hours. Flights aren't that frequent, especially from more regional airports like Bristol, Birmingham, Newcastle and Manchester. Indirect flights are possible with TAP Portugal, flying via Lisbon. Other airlines like British Airways, easyJet and Jet2 don't currently offer direct flights to the Cape Verde islands
As a result, TUI are the main UK tour operator to Cape Verde. They offer ABTA and ATOL protected package holidays to the islands, including flights, accommodation and usually airport transfers. Other tour operators like loveholidays and On The Beach can also package up TUI flights with accommodation, where as companies like easyJet Holidays and Jet2 Holidays, who use their own flights, aren't able to offer packages here.
If you plan to book your flight and hotel separately, make sure you select the correct airport. You don't want to be flying into Sal, only to realise that the all inclusive hotel you booked is on another island.
Once you've arrived, the best way to get from the airport to your hotel is by a pre-booked airport transfer. These are often included in your package holiday, but you may need to add this on to the booking depending on who you book with. Taxi is also an option with the journey price varying depending on where you are travelling to.
Cape Verde Weather
Being much further south than the Canary Islands, the weather in Cape Verde is hot all year round with average temperatures in the mid-to-late-twenties. The summer months of July and August regularly see long hot days with temperatures well into the 30s. Many holidaymakers head here in the winter as temperatures still sit in the 20s in December and January, making it an ideal destination for cheap winter sun holidays. February, March and April are considered good times to go while the UK is still fairly cold, but the Cape Verde Islands enjoy plenty of sunshine.
