Finisterra to A Coruña airport

[peregrino99]

Hello All,
Can I make an 11:00 am flight out of Coruña leaving Finisterra on the 7:10 morning bus?
Thanks for any suggestions or info.

Probably. The bus trip is timetabled at 2 hours 32 mins. You have an hour & 20 minutes at the airport to check-in, clear security and neck a final cafe-con-leche.

The gods may interfere.

The good news is that A Coruna is a very small airport with only a short distance between the front door, check-in and the boarding gates. Hard to get lost there

I'm looking at the Monbus site http://www.monbus.es/es/rutas-puntos-de-venta

I picked a date of July 11 to see a busy time of year. Looks like the earliest arrival in Santiago is close to 8:00 (if leaving Finisterre between 6 and 7). From there to Coruña there is a bus leaving at 8:00 and arriving at the Coruña bus station at 9:30. If you miss the 8:00 bus the next is at 9:00.

Maybe bus to SdC and taxi from there?

Autocares Valesquez provide a 07:10 service from Fisterra arrives Coruna 09:15. As said, tight, but not impossible. That said Coruna is a great city. Why not go a day earlier?

Thank you. I've made a note to myself about this additional bus line.

No.

0710 bus arrives at A Coruna EA at 0915 ... at which point you still need to get from the bus station to the airport, check-in, go through security and board the plane. Yeah, sure ... you might make it ... but I doubt it.

While the time tables are usually fairly accurate, I can tell you from my own experience in 2016 on this route, that there can be delays due to (believe it or not) traffic, road construction, traffic collisions and other bus stops along the way. This was a miserable long bus ride... Good luck !

Thanks all,
I think I'll take a taxi from Finisterra to Coruña early that morning, if available. Otherwise, overnight in Coruña sounds prudent.

Hi all,
I’ve not booked my flight home yet and figure out Fisterra check out 25th June..
la coruna has flight that evening ( is it enough time to get there) or stay overnight in Santiago and fly home following day...?

 

[Bob from L.A. !]

Personally (my comfort level) I'd stay in Santiago

Bought ticket an hr ago

So..... thinking as this very well may apply to me if God Willing I do end in Finisterre.
Say on a Saturday morning I need to "vamoose" to a given Airport to fly home. Now, due to various things in play there is no 'extra day' - I have to get out that Saturday.
So - is it 'easier' to try to get to (and ultimately fly out of) A Coruña or go back to SdC?
Given the fact that I am jumping over the pond - none of the airports above will give me the N/S so, again, timetable and getting there convenience as well as variety of choices to get to some 'major' airport (Madrid, DUB, LHR... no matter at this point)
Thanks
