Santiago Airport to Leon

[bryans]

We are flying to Santiago Airport in October and getting a bus to Lugo. We plan to stay in Lugo and then bus it to Leon.
Looking at the Alsa website it shows a bus leaving Lugo at 07.10 but when i input our date Friday 17 October only a 10.30 bus is showing. Are the earlier buses booked ?

Any other options from Santiago airport to Leon ?

Try again closer to date of travel. Bus schedules cannot be relied upon more than one month in advance. There are usually some changes at the change of seasons ... in this case end of summer. Usually the main routes don't change much so you can sort of plan on whats there now.

Another option is Renfe train from Santiago. You take the Empresa Freire bus from the airport to Santiago. I think (but you'll have to confirm) the bus makes a stop at the train station.

AENA manages airports in Spain. See the site for Santiago airport access information.

The bus from the airport does stop at both the train and bus stations in Santiago. You have to be alert though, as the bus stops on the other side of the road from the train station, and the building is set down from the road a bit. I missed it last time, but it did stop there.
