Hi I guess this is a "how long is a piece of string question "
Our flight home is at 4.25 pm
And the transfer time is 45 minutes

What time do you reckon they will pick us up?
Trying to work out if we will have time for breakfast /couple of hours around the pool

1-1:30 although if you are on a coach doing several pick ups it could be earlier.

If it’s part of a package holiday then it can really vary but often a lot earlier than I would like! It’ll depend on if there’s a full bus leaving from your hotel or if they’ll be driving round to pick others up on the way. I would think maybe 12-12:30z

Depends on what stop you are on the route

If it's a package holiday, it will probably be between about 12 and 1 pm, so unless you're really late risers, you'll have time for breakfast and the pool.

When it says transfer time 45 mins, that probably won't be direct time to the airport, but an average via a couple of stops at different hotels.

We recently came back on a transfer bus and the bus came at 10 for flights at 12.45 and 13.15 and then it seemed to go to loads of other hotels and we didn't get to the airport until 11 am, despite the direct drive to the airport being about 20 mins.

The people on the 12.45 flight were starting to get a bit anxious, until the rep got on the bus at the airport to inform us all that both flights were delayed by 2-3 hours so there was no rush anyway.

No we will probably be up for half 7 and out for 9 am.
So 12 would be fine

You’ll probably have to check out of your room before the bus arrives so check if there’s somewhere to shower/change before you leave if you’re planning to use the pool in the morning.
