Abby and John's Travel Plans

We will depart Porto after the wedding on Saturday morning, May 11 to enjoy a quick Honeymoon.

GETTING TO EUROPE

Direct flights to Porto can sometimes be expensive and harder to come by. Airports such as Barcelona, Dublin, or Copenhagen, or any UK airport often offer more affordable round-trip options. From there, you can easily catch a flight via airlines like Ryanair, Easyjet, or Tap Portugal which offer quick hopper flights to all over Europe usually $30-90 base cost. Be sure to be mindful of baggage and carry on liquid limitations as they're fairly strict around most of Europe.

Trains are another great way to travel once you're across the pond. We always prefer to take a train when we can. Learn from our mistakes and pay the extra fee for an assigned seat when available to avoid a really long game of musical chairs.


Finding the most low stress and convenient flight/trains can be the key to a great journey. So, compare your options and make the most of your travels to wonderful Porto! 🇵🇹✈️

HOW WE FIND CHEAP FLIGHTS

Going (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights) operates on a subscription-based pricing model, offering three tiers: a free plan, a basic plan priced at $49 per year, and a premium plan priced at $149 per year. The free plan provides access to some flight deals, while the basic and premium plans offer additional perks such as personalized flight alerts, access to both international and domestic flight offers, and priority customer support. We have the $49 basic plan and see a ton of flights come through. Deals usually only last a couple of days but you will make your money back on the first trip and it's a friendly reminder in your inbox to take a vacation!


Hopper is an app that utilizes predictive algorithms to forecast and monitor flight and hotel prices; you can search for your desired flight, and the app will analyze historical data and trends to provide alerts when prices are expected to be at their lowest, allowing you to book at the optimal time and save money on your trip.

WHERE TO STAY & HOW TO GET AROUND PORTO

Picture of WHERE TO STAY & HOW TO GET AROUND PORTO

Porto is relatively small and a delight to explore on foot. Comfy walking shoes are a must. We recommend staying in and around City Center. Airbnb's are very affordable in this area, but there are also boutique hotels for any budget.

Getting around Porto is easy; buses, trains, trams, pedicabs, and Uber are all available. You won't need a rental car.


Happy exploring! 🚶🏻‍♂️🌆
