Choosing the Right Pick-Up Time

Although Almancil is relatively close to Faro Airport, 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 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 15–25 minutes of driving
  • Loading luggage

  • Possible traffic
  • Airport check-in

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 Almancil address, a collection around 09:25–09:35 may provide a comfortable margin.

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