I was going to say the same thing. Bilbao airport is not that far from the city so I reckon you´d be better off staying in the centre, making the most of your time in Bilbao and booking an early taxi for your flight. The nearer they are to an airport, the more soulless hotels seem to be.@trecile, spend your time in Bilbao.
Buses are quick to the airport and start early. Plenty to see and do there!Thanks for the suggestions. I have walked the Norte through Bilbao and stayed in the city on one of those occasions, but I haven't spent more than half a day there, so I would like to be close enough to enjoy the city. And looking at the distance to the airport it does seem worthwhile to stay in town.
Sure. It’s a while since I flew from BIO but I think buses started around 5am and it took approx. 30 mins.I've reserved an Airbnb that's between the Basílica de la Virgen de Begoña and the Etxebarria Parkea. Several reviews mentioned that the host was very helpful with transportation to the airport. I'll need to be at the airport around 5:30am, so I don't know if a bus will be running that early, but a taxi will be fine.
I will also be arriving to Bilbao on a flight from Santiag
