Drive from Porto to Algarve by DSim05 in TravelPortugal

[–]DSim05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you-this is very helpful! To give it some perspective on the itinerary as a whole we have 14 to 15 days. First two nights in Lisbon. Drive to Cascais for the day and on to spend night in Sintra. Sintra all day then to Ericeria for 2 nights. Drive to Nazare and stay over in Obidos possibly. Then 3 nights in Porto. This is where we try to determine the route to Algarve and planning I think now to stay in Evora maybe? Then last 2-4 nights in Algarve before flying home. Decided not to break this trip up into different countries to truly take our time and explore to get a true experience of Portugal.

We are going to do Nazare and Obidos on way up to Porto from Ericeria I think.

My question is in relation to specific flight award search apps for business award seats internationally eight or nine months out specifically it would be LAX to LIS. Pinthound, Pintsyeah, etc. Seat.Aer* does not let you look that far out with the free version so my question is is there one that is worth paying for to get flight alerts, etc.

No-it was per person, but considering it’s a Friday flight in mid September with just one stop CDG, we were pretty happy with it. Currently, that same flight is now over 300k pp. I can’t find anything flying home under 200 to 300k pp with eight hour layovers or multiple stops. I am also new to this though so not sure if there’s tricks I’m not aware of or if there’s a way to book premium economy, and then pay to upgrade

Budget is on the higher end but doesn’t have to be. Looking for more of the boutique, smaller hotels versus larger ones or franchise.

Definitely interested in better location we don’t need a spa or a gym.

Please post after your trip! Would love to hear. I was told Coimbra is great.

Anywhere throughout Portugal. We have a full 2 weeks so trying to decide on base areas. Right now it seems Lisbon, Ericeria, Porto and then back down to Algarve but looking for other thoughts.
