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
  • Security
  • Passport control when required

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.
