Hello. Can anyone help with times for bus or train. Back to Porto
From Santiago
Kind regards Andrew
Flixbus and Alsa load their schedules quite early. This route is loaded up to 30 June at mo on both. At mo Alsa much cheaper and more buses.Way too early for the summer timetables to be published. That often doesn't happen more than a couple of months in advance. If you look at the current bus timetables from ALSA and Flixbus you should get a general idea of what is available - the times don't usually alter all that much.
You just have to know which websites to look at that give you the clearest information. For flights, I found the best thing to check his Google flights. I quickly checked flights from Santiago to Edinburgh on July 12 and there were flights, but they cost an arm and a leg, and take forever:Was hoping to get a flight from Santiago back but can’t find any flights.
Thanks so much for your help
Andrew
You're welcome! The flights actually might be cheaper and better if you look 8 to 12 weeks ahead of your trip. But it's hard to say for sure.Thanks again had a look you’re right very expensive plus a long layover.
Thanks Stephen

There were Ryanair flights direct from Edinburgh to Santiago. Alas not this year. Your plans are probably spot onExcellent information. Had a Quick Look. Yes I don’t think the times will change much. I’ll be in Santiago at least 2 days before heading home. I can get plane from Edinburgh to Porto. Was hoping to get a flight from Santiago back but can’t find any flights.

Thank you so much.Lydia Honestly everyone is this app are so helpful. Like I’ve been saying the more information the better.ALSA have 3 buses daily from Santiago to Porto, They stop first at the airport in Porto .The bus times are 9.30,am, 11.30 and 6.00 pm. The 9.30 arrives at Porto airport at 11.55.
They go from the bus station in Santiago. It is advisable to buy tickets in advance as there can sometimes be slow moving queues. If you are now sure of the plane you want to get you could buy your bus tickets well in advance. Buen Camino to you both. Lydia
I've taken the Alsa bus from Santiago Bus Station to Porto Airport a few times. It takes 31/2hours (longer into Porto itself). I seem to remember that there are about 4 buses a day, but the schedule won't be available yet. It's easy to book and pay online and you get a ticket on your mobile.Hello.

Fantastic news thank you I’m so looking forward to this trip. I think we can walk the coastal Portuguese 9/10 days. Depending how we feel maybe a rest day therefore I might wait till we’re halfway there then bookI've taken the Alsa bus from Santiago Bus Station to Porto Airport a few times.

Thanks for the advice. It’s always appreciated. Especially AdviceSince you will be traveling during a busy time, I recommend that once you are nearing Santiago, and know what day you need to travel from Santiago, it is best to buy the tickets a few days ahead.
I made the mistake of waiting to buy a ticket 1 day ahead, and some of the bus times were already sold out!! So I was just fortunate to get on any bus the following day.
