Hi, there was hoping there might be some generous person who would be able to give myself and my father a lift from Pomerado today 19th of April to get to Santiago to Compostela airport for a flight at 1850

That's a interesting request. I'd say the chances of someone on this forum 1. Being in spain. 2. Being in spain with a car and 3. Be willing to drive to Ponferrada, pick you up and drive you 200km to the airport.. are pretty slim. Not non-existent but I wouldn't like to depend on it.

There maybe a bus that might help.

There are buses. It's 200 km and takes four hours. The next (and last for your flight) leaves in fifteen minutes. Next time maybe you should do your research the day before?

There are taxis. Probably €250-300 but not bad between 2 people

Too late for the OP, but, if I was you, I wouldn't start from there. There are only two trains westward from Ponferrada each day, one at 06:15, which you have already missed, taking 4h 18m to SdC, including a bus service between Monforte de Lemos and Ourense, and the other at 18:36 (I took it two days ago - as always, it was an hour late) arriving in SdC not long before midnight.
There are no direct buses that I'm aware of, although ALSA offers a service via A Coruna at 08:25 and 19:00, taking 3h 46m. Hope you made it somehow!
