    Bus/train - From Santiago to Porto

    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.

    Starting Le Puy on Sat

    I have an app on my phone with the daily Mass reading, so I can follow that part in English no matter what country I am in.

    Planes & Poles … recent revision?

    We flew out from the UK a couple of weeks ago, from Manchester to Madrid, with Ryanair. I too have Pacerpoles, but didn't want to chance having them confiscated, so found a cheap pair in the garage that I didn't mind having to give up. I got through security, no problem. Whilst queuing up to...

    Thank you so much. I think we'll go with this choice. Now let's hope that the flight is on time!🙄🤞

    Travel from Madrid Airport to Estacion Sur

    Thanks so much. We should arrive in T1 (travelling with Ryanair). We'll get the intra-airport bus as you say, to T4. The Cercanias sounds like a good bet. I think I'd prefer to not have to change. I've used the ticket machines at the train station in Malaga before now, so assuming they're...

    Thanks. We're flying home from Porto and will take the bus from Santiago, but good to know for future trips.

    Travel from Madrid Airport to Estacion Sur

    Thank you. That's very helpful. Do you buy 1 subway ticket for the whole journey and where do you buy the ticket?

    Travel from Madrid Airport to Estacion Sur

    Looking for the best way to get from Madrid Airport to the bus station at Estacion Sur. Our flight lands in Madrid at 11.45 and our bus leaves at 14.30. We will just have cabin baggage. I don't want to take a taxi if I don't have to because of the cost. Thanks for any advice.

    Alsa Prices - Santiago to Porto airport

    Yes, you're right. Makes no sense, but just to be sure, I think I'll pay the higher price.

    Alsa Prices - Santiago to Porto airport

    That's why I was querying it. Another poster on this thread said it would be the airport surcharge. It seems that people travelling to the airport need to pay this, but people travelling to Camphana don't

    Alsa Prices - Santiago to Porto airport

    It's actually double the cost for the date and time I want to travel.

    Alsa Prices - Santiago to Porto airport

    Ah ok, I had no idea the extra cost was an airport surcharge. I certainly have no intention of trying to cheat anyone. Thank you for clearing this up.

    Alsa Prices - Santiago to Porto airport

    I'm not certain, but when I look at the specified route, it's the same for each, except that the airport one doesn't go on to Camphana, but the Camphana bus has the airport listed on the itinerary

    Alsa Prices - Santiago to Porto airport

    Hi, I'm looking at booking an Alsa bus from Santiago to Porto Airport. The last stop is Camphana (after the airport). If I book a ticket to the airport, it's a different price (more expensive) than the ticket for the bus leaving at the same time (same bus)? to Camphana. Does anyone know if it...
