Santiago de Compostella to Airport Transit (Tomorrow Early Morning)

[Clair Nicole]

Hi Pilgrims!

First time poster.

Feeling nervous in Santiago tonight because I’m not able to book a taxi in advance for my 6:50AM flight because Taxi’s are overworked with the influx of people. My Hotel gave me a script to help me with Spanish tomorrow morning when I call— I will need to turn on data roaming.

My accomodation is north of the city (40 minute walk from the bus station) but buses don’t run at 4:30AM anyway. Has anyone had success booking a taxi or know of private rides? Maybe I could join in on the ride.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome here. Is it possible to walk to a nearby taxirank now and arrange something with one of the drivers for tomorrow morning? Might be easier than deal with it via phone.

Good luck.

Welcome @Clair Nicole !

The concern is real, as the music festival has jammed up the city. However, since the last performance ends around 4am or later, there will probably be a lot of taxis in motion during that time (and in the hours beforehand) bringing people back in to the city. Hopefully calling should work out just fine.

Safe travels!

Thanks everyone! I called this morning at 4AM and the line was busy for some time. When I got through, I was in a taxi within 10 minutes. Successfully made my flight with plenty of time to spare
