All the above mileages and times are approximate. Most of the miles from all the airports are on the motorway and are easy driving. In my opinion the most difficult airport to drive from is Santander. This is because you have to drive around Bibao on a motorway that can be very busy.
Bed linen can be hired to save weight and space when you are flying. This must be pre booked when sending the balance for your accommodation.
