anyone found a cheap way to Porto

[eskton]

i was thinking of flying to santander myself, arriving the night before the game, but how do you get down to Porto

 

anyone help

Santander to Porto is quite a journey, 4 hours at least probably. You'd be better off going from Lisbon to Porto but that's still a fair journey. Unless you've got a really cheap flight I personally wouldn't bother. If you're flying into Spain, La Coruna is closer but it's still a fair bit off. If I was you i'd pay the extra and fly direct to Porto with Ryanair or TAP Portugal. It'll cost you a load to get from an airport that's as far away as Santander as well, so the extra cost to Porto might not be that much more.

Try flying to Santiago De Compestelo. Closer than La Coruna by a bit.

 

Santander is f***ing miles away, might as well fly via Madrid.

The road to Santiago has been upgraded over recent years thanks to the buckets of EU money spent in Portugal. It's a nice drive.

[eskton]

yes but was going on my own so driving is not really an option.

 

The flight to santander is 1p each way at the mo, into Porto its over £200

 

was looking for anyone else who is going to santander really to share a car

Stowing away on Ryan Air is quite cheap, if lethal.

Booking the day of the draw tends to be the cheapest way. I hope this helps.

It also means you end up on the plane with a right shower of b******s though.

Yeah, I'd noticed that downside too...

You're the redeeming feature.

Only slightly more then buying a ticket and eating the food.

Not got yer sarcasm detector turned on?

 

Gonna make sure I'm at the back of the plane and I can then pelt you all with the empties I've got.

'Ladies and Gentleman, due to the weather over Oporto and the fact the company hasn't paid it's local taxes we shall shortly be arriving in Alicante...'

The scary thing is that it's probably true...
