It is recommended that all passengers arrive at the airport at least two hours prior to their flight departure time.

 

17) While Tour Algarve Transfers endeavour to carry out the best and most reliable services for all our clients, occasionally circumstances beyond our control such as unforeseen traffic delays due to accidents, police requests and operations, unplanned events such as demonstrations, organised disruption or marches, adverse weather conditions or any such like, may occur which can result in inconvenience and possible delays. Tour Algarve Transfers will use every reasonable attempt to ensure that the service is provided to the clients original request, but we wii not accept responsibility for delays caused by circumstances beyond our control.
