Choosing the Right Pick-Up Time

Although Faro Airport is very close to the city, choosing the correct collection time is still important.

When booking, please provide:

  • Flight number
  • Airline
  • Scheduled departure time
  • Number of passengers
  • Luggage details
  • Exact collection address

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

Your pick-up time should also allow for:

  • Approximately 10–15 minutes of driving
  • Loading luggage
  • Possible city traffic
  • Airport check-in
  • Security
  • Passport control when required
  • Walking to the departure gate

Example

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

Depending on your exact address in Faro, a collection around 09:30–09:40 may provide a comfortable margin.

Always check your airline’s recommended airport-arrival time before confirming your collection.
