Traveling from Santiago to Astorga

[Carmel Darcy]

I will be arriving at Santiago de Compostela airport in September at 8:40 am. The train to Astorga is at 10:06. Is this enough time to get out of the airport and to the train station? I will be coming from USA through Madrid to Santiago. And I will have my bags with me. Thank you.

I think that is far too tight. The bus company timetable says it is 40 minutes from the airport to the train station but buses only leave at 30 minute intervals. Even with a taxi transfer you would have to be very lucky in your timings: any delays in the arrival of your plane or disembarking would make it nearly impossible.

You will be OK if you take a taxi. The fixed rate fare to the airport is 23E, so the reverse to the train station should be about the same (I don't think it is flat rate).

There is a 0925 bus from the airport to Lugo, where you can transfer to a 1215 bus to Astorga, arriving at 1525.
