I’m trying to put together a little trip to Granada, for this weekend.<\/p>\n
The problem is that I am very restricted in how much time I can take off from work on Friday (none) and Monday\/Tuesday (none at all).<\/p>\n
So I’m looking at flights out on Saturday, and return flights on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Here are my destination airport options:<\/p>\n
Granada<\/strong> If I caught a flight from LHR at 11am Saturday, I could get in to Granada at 5.30pm after one stop – and a total elapsed travel time of five hours. I would have to pick up a hire car and drive to my destination – a cool 1h 45m away.<\/p>\n The return journey would put me on a flight out of Granada at 1.45pm the next day, and would get me back to LHR – after one stop – at 5.20pm.<\/p>\n That’s not much time on the ground – especially when you factor in the hire car to\/fro journeys and making it to departures in the advanced time that the airline demands.<\/p>\n Almeria<\/strong> If I catch a flight from LGW at 6.20am I would get to Almeria at 10.10am. I’d have to pick up a hire car and drive to the village, which, from Almeria, would get me to my destination around noon.<\/p>\n But I would have to leave the village around 9pm, to drive back down to Almeria (two hours), to a hotel to spend the night, to ensure I returned my car and made it to departures in time to catch my return flight at 10.40am.<\/p>\n But this option would get me about 9 hours on the ground.<\/p>\n I’m not even going to look at using Malaga. I dislike that airport. And it is three hours’ drive away from my destination.<\/p>\n Anyway.<\/p>\n This is all a bit mentile, isn’t it?<\/p>\n Well maybe it is.<\/p>\n But it’s my daughter’s birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m trying to put together a little trip to Granada, for this weekend.
