[Finallyat70]

Well, at 70 I am finally doing my Camino! I will be walking from Porto to Santiago, arriving there on Oct 21st. I will be in need of a Transfer from Santiago to Porto on Oct 22, to my Hotel OpoHotel Porto Aeroporto. How does one go about booking a Transfer? Thank you, Nancy

You can take a bus from Santiago that will drop you off at the airport. Check on the Alsa website to book

It looks like Alsa has three buses that day to Porto Airport.

Checkout - Alsa

I have used the OMIO app to book travel, as there may be other options beside Alsa.

Flixbus has more departures, but they all involve a transfer:

Most of the time you do not need to get off of the bus with Flixbus even though it says it's a transfer...

Alsa is the best to drop you off at Porto airport (schedule provided above).

You may note that a ticket to Porto airport is more expensive than a ticket to the (further) centre of Porto. Don’t be tempted to book the latter and get off early, the driver will not release your bag. It’s an airport tax.

Thanks so much everyone for your help! I come from a small Rural village in NS, population of about 300, and really have never travelled like this. A wee bit nervous.

I took the bus to Porto, nice, inexpensive and easy.

Thank so much! It’s a bit confusing to me, but my Hotel is OpoHotel Porto, is that right at the Airport?

If it was any closer it would be on the runway - so, yes.

The ALSA bus is clean and comfortable and has a lavatory on board for which - if the lock’s working - you may need 50eurocent coins.

This is true. Went from Santiago to Porto last week. You stay on the bus in Vigo...that's the transfer.
