ryanair in relation to national express

Hello!

Has anyone taken the Ryanair flight from Santiago to London Stanstead? I’ll need to take a National Express bus to Victoria on my projected finish date of Friday, May 31. I was just wondering how reliable Ryanair is in terms of landing when they say they will land – the bus tickets are cheap right now (who knows what they’ll be the day of) so if I could buy my bus ticket for about 1.5hours after I land, that would be lovely.

6 more weeks :shock:

Hi! I've caught that flight a few times and it's fairly reliable in my experience. Of course things can go wrong. If you can allow for an hour or so delay that would usually be enough. There are cafes and restaurants in Stansted where you can use any extra time. Buen Camino!
 
Hi T
relax-Ryan-air has the best record on times.
when you board in Santiago air staff try selling you bus tickets to London for when you land £9/£10.
lots of buses at the airport £12 ish.
also Stansted has a railway station-cuts the journey time to London by half £12/15,hanging round the airport can get expensive at £3 for a coffee!!
Have a great (relaxed) Camino

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Thanks, guys!

LOL, yes, I’m trying to relax as you suggest. My problem is that I’m pretty much done planning the important things 6 weeks in advance and so now my brain has started focusing on any little thing that can be planned! But I am trying not to straightjacket myself by planning every single minute detail! :oops:

Yes, and it gets worse if you order a beer. Still, at least you're there and comfortable. :roll: Buen Camino!
 
Have flown Ryanair to/from various airports in uk to/from various ones in spain over last few years including Stanstead/Santiago return. All were on time (actually most were slightly early). Really not worth tying yourself down by buying advance bus ticket and giving yourself unneeded stress in my opinion.
