Reliability of Autna Bus Vigo to Porto Airport?

[sommerjule]

Hello everyone
I will be starting my first half of the Camino Portugues tomorrow. I only have about a week this year so I can only go as far as Valenca. From then , I plan to take the Autna Bus back to Porto Airport on the morning of my flight back, so I can have a full last day of walking.
However I am starting to become a bit anxious about missing my flight back home with this strategy.


My question is: how reliable is this Autna bus line? Does anybody have any experience with this route? Is it likely that the bus may be cancelled at the last minute or not come at all?

It is the route that goes from Vigo to Porto, which stops in Valenca and also Porto Airport.
I want to take the bus on the morning of my departing flight, at 08:30, which arrives at 10:00 at the airport (3 hours before my flight home)
I have read in other threads that the bus may be about half an hour late depending on traffic , which would be fine for me since I have some extra time planned in.

Any advice on this transport issue would be appreciated

I took the ALSA bus from Santiago to the Porto Airport many times and last year from Valença do Minho to Santiago and they are very reliable. With Autna I have no experience. Alternative is take the train from Vigo to Porto Campanhã railwaystation and from there the metro to the airport . Three times I stayed at the Park hotel at the airport ( in front of the departures entrance ) to overnight for my early flight back home

There is also the train option from Vigo to Porto. You can take the very reliable Porto light transit trains direct to the airport.

Thanks. I do not think I will make it as far as Vigo though - I planned to hop on the bus in Valenca. I guess I just have to take my chances
