Santiago to UK

[daisy]

Can anyone please recommend ways of returning from Santiago to UK in April if Ryanair have stopped their flights to Stanstead?
(Yes there are English pilgrims around, but not so many of us !)
Thanks

Daisy, I have just done a search for a frien who needs to get back to the UK in March. We looked at flying from Porto, Madrid and Coruna.
If Ryanair haven't resumed flights from Santiago by then he will get a bus to Porto (2.45hrs) and fly from there to Gatwick. They dont fly on a Tuesday or Thursday;
Depart: Porto 11:30
Arrive: London-Gatwick 13:50
1 x Adult 12.99 EUR

Fare: 12.99 EUR
Online Check-In: 6.00 EUR
Taxes / Fees: 0.00 EUR
» Taxes and Fees 0.00 EUR
Total Price: 18.99 EUR
They also fly to Stanstead and Liverpool from Porto.

http://www.vueling.com/EN/ fly from A Coruna to Heathrow.

In addition to Ryan Air, EasyJet and TAP also fly from Porto to London.

Yes, Porto is useful. There are buses from SDC to Porto. The bus stops at Porto airport. It's about 29 euros.

Vueling is expensive.
We looked at Vueling from Coruna and it was 59 euro going to London and 89 euro returning.
Ryanair was 62 euro return.

I still find it hard to beleive that with the new Airport at Santiago the local government will let Ryan air withdraw completely. Does anyone have any latest news on negoatiations?

My friend John wants to fly to Liverpool from Santiago in April before he starts his long trek from Santiago to Rome.
One of the couples in my group want to travel to Bournemouth after we have arrived in Santiago in June.
Ryan air flies to Liverpool from Porto and there is a new summer route from Porto of Bournemouth advertised on the Bournemouth Airport website.
