Flights

There are two airports in our area Vigo, Spain or Oporto, Portugal.
The only direct flight available from the Michigan area is from Toronto, Canada (YYZ) to Oporto, Portugal (OPO).

Vigo, Spain
El Peinador Airport (VGO)

This is a small airport comparable to the size of Bishop in Flint, Michigan. It is approximately 45 minutes from the wedding venue, 30 minutes to Baiona, and 20 minutes from our house.  There are rental car options here, however limited and primarily stick shift. It will be more expensive to fly in to Vigo, however, if you don't want to rent a car, this is a good option, because it is a 30-45 minute taxi ride to Baiona where you won't need a car.

A typical flight pattern from Michigan is DTW>ATL>MAD>VGO  or FNT>ORD>MAD>VGO with two layovers.


Oporto, Portugal
Francisco de Sa Carneiro Airport (OPO)

This is a medium sized airport, not as big as DTW in Detroit, but bigger than Vigo. It is approximately 2 hours from the wedding venue and our house. There are more rental car options here. There is also a bus Autna that goes from the airport to Vigo. It should also be cheaper to fly into than Vigo, and less layovers.

A typical flight pattern from Michigan is DTW>AMS>OPO with one layover.
The direct flight from Toronto, Canada (YYZ) to Oporto, Portugal (OPO) is with Air Transat a Canadian budget airline.
