Choosing the Right Pick-Up Time

Alvor is approximately one hour from Faro Airport, so choosing the correct collection time is important.

When booking, please provide:

• Flight number
• Airline
• Scheduled departure time
• Exact collection address
• Number of passengers
• Luggage details
• Golf or sports equipment, if applicable

For most flights, passengers should normally plan to arrive at Faro Airport around 2 hours before departure, although airline requirements may vary.

You should also allow for:

• Approximately 55 minutes–1h10 driving
• Loading luggage
• Possible traffic
• Road delays
• Airport check-in
• Baggage drop

Always follow your airline’s specific recommendation.

Example

If your flight departs at 12:00, you may normally want to reach Faro Airport at around 10:00.

Depending on your exact Alvor address and expected traffic, a collection around 08:30–08:45 may provide a comfortable margin.

For larger groups or passengers travelling with several golf bags, allowing a little additional loading time is sensible.
