Hi Gary

We are flying back to UK from Faro Airport at 09:55 on 1st July. We have to arrange transfers from our hotel and would like to know how long before our flight, that we have to be at the airport.

Hi Kim

Sorry for the delays in coming back to you.

Your airline dictates what times you have to check in BUT most are the same....

You should be at the airport 2 hours before take off BUT the check in desks are normally open until 30 mins before take off.

AS its the end of your holiday I would go for the 2 hours, no point being stressed after a great holiday!

I am off to Portugal for my holidays in 5 weeks! But I am lucky, I drive there from Spain!

Hi,

The only way I know is to drive down to Tarifa or Algerciras in Spain (about 3 hours) then get a ferry. Before you take the car be sure you can drive into spain on the insurance.

Good luck

Smoking at Faro Airport

Hi Gary
I am traveling to Faro at the end of April, I know smoking is banned in most of the Spanish airports now, what is the situation at Faro?I don't seem to be able to find any info and this is my first trip to Portugal.
Also, I have difficulty in walking distance, is the airport friendly enough with this (do they have travelators that work) I do not need a wheelchair as long as there is some sort of help.
Hope you can help with some info.
Thanks Jean

Regarding the smoking, Im not entirely sure. Even in some of the Spanish Airports there are specific areas or rooms where you can smoke.. I would assume no smoking, then if you can its a bonus.

Regarding assisntance. The following is what is written on their website.
Assistance for Passengers with Reduced Mobility
Support services for passengers with reduced mobility are provided by special handlers from your airline.
The Faro Airport is equipped with lifts/elevators and toilet facilities to accommodate persons in wheel chairs
So you need to mention to your airline with whom you are flying with.
