Faro, Porto, Alicante, Bari, Thessaloniki, and Tirana are the most consistent sub-100 round trips on budget carriers, and all six average over 2,500 hours of annual sunshine, so a cheap fare rarely means trading away the weather.

Low fares cluster where Ryanair, Wizz Air, and easyJet compete head to head. Faro, Alicante, and Bari see year-round sub-100 round trips outside school holidays, while Tirana and Thessaloniki are frequently under 60 return from central Europe. On the ground, Tirana and Thessaloniki are the bargains: a full restaurant meal runs 8-15, roughly half western European prices.
The catch is that the cheapest fares appear unpredictably and vanish within days. SunnyFlight's weekly scan watches weekend fares and 7-day weather forecasts together and emails you only when a sub-100 round trip overlaps with a sunny forecast, which removes the daily fare-checking ritual entirely.

Budget carriers sell round trips to Faro, Alicante, Bari, and Thessaloniki for 40-90 outside school holidays, and Tirana fares from central Europe often drop below 50.
