Albufeira Hen Flights and Transfers

With regular flights between the UK’s major airports and Faro Airport taking under 3 hours, Albufeira takes the lead as a sunshine hen destination.

When it comes to getting your hens from A to B and back again, there are a few different factors to consider. Such as arriving at night will decrease the options and increase the price of getting transfers on the day. If you are coming out of season, there will also be less choice for your group to take. Not to threat, there are still lots of great ways to get the party started asap with the below transfer options!

Private Transfers

The most popular and hassle free option is to plan and book your transfers ahead of time. These can be added onto your package meaning you pay and we arrange.

Bus

The journey between Faro Airport and Albufeira takes around 40 minutes, and so if you want a budget option for your group, taking public transport could be for your group. Added to the schedule this year, the number 56 route (Aerobus) will take you directly into Albufeira before carrying onto Lagoa, Portimao and Lagos. These run six times a day Monday – Friday in peak seasons, reducing after and on the weekends. Tickets costing just €8.00, if you don’t mind the waiting around then the price could be worth it!



Getting Around on Your Hen Weekend

Trains

Whilst there is lots within walking distance of your accommodation, trains are a tried and tested method of getting around. Cheap, quick and reliable!
