Sounds like great advice; Bus stations around the world are not the most interesting places.If you choose this option, and you have some time until the bus departure, you can walk 5 min by rúa (street) de Casal, present your respects to the pilgrim's statue at Praza da Paz, and relax some time in the adjacent and pleasant park, instead of waiting in a plain and boring bus terminal
all - first time poster and was about to post same question! Lucky I searched first
I fly out next week via Dublin and so also land at 15.35pm on Thursday 11 September.
I am confused though - Empresa Freire (http://www.empresafreire.com/html/ingles/seccion3a.php) does not seem to be listed at all as departing from Santiago Airport, or is Labacolla Airport (SCQ) one and the same? Hopefully!
If so, my plan is to ideally land on time 15.35, collect my bag, run to bus stop for 4.10pm to Lugo (according to http://www.empresafreire.com/html/ingles/seccion3a.php) (presume this is right outside airport?)
Then when I get to Lugo at c.18.05 I think I can take a Monbus at 18.35 to Sarria? No English translation but taken from http://www.monbus.es/es/rutas-puntos-de-venta/123/viajar-a-sarria/
We have got the 4.10 bus from the airport to Lugo twice. Once it was full and the driver phoned for a second bus which arrived 15 mts. later.Yes may end this walking of the Way tomorrow but the Camino is always there and waiting to welcome you home.
Thank you for the effort you put into this post.I think your time appreciation is a bit tight for getting from the plane to the bus.
There is Monbus bus from Santiago bus station to Sarria via Monforte de Lemos leaving 1800. Empresa Freire operates every half hour from the airport to the bus station with the last bus that will work for you leaving 1730 (even if that gives only 10 minutes to find the Monbus bus).
See Empresa Freire customer service page for ticket options.

Note the SCQ website has a map showing where the bus loads.
1905 Sarria
Empresa Freire connects Santiago to Lugo and stops enroute at the Santiago Airport. Monbus connects Lugo to Sarria. The transfer point is the Lugo bus station.

Renfe provides service to Sarria on trains running between Monforte de Lemos and Betanzos-Infesta. These trains originate in Madrid, Barcelona, etc and terminate in A Coruña or Ferrol. If you plan to get from Santiago to Sarria ... use the bus.
Sometimes it is more time efficient to travel to Sarria with Monbus from Santiago bus station via Monforte de Lemos. Take Empresa Freire bus from Santiago Labcolla airport to Santiago bus station.

When you get the schedule, click on Ver. A popup will show you the itinerary. It goes to Monforte then Sarria."There is Monbus bus from Santiago bus station to Sarria via Monforte de Lemos leaving 1800" - I've looked at the website though and only see Santiago Bus Station to Sarria - no mention of Monforte de Lemos. Do you mean the end point for the listed bus will be Monforte de Lemos, but that it stops in Sarria?
Thank you for the effort you put into this post.
Can I ask though - you say "There is Monbus bus from Santiago bus station to Sarria via Monforte de Lemos leaving 1800" - I've looked at the website though and only see Santiago Bus Station to Sarria - no mention of Monforte de Lemos. Do you mean the end point for the listed bus will be Monforte de Lemos, but that it stops in Sarria? Thanks! The bus I do see also leaves at 1800
