The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

Status
The operator's own schedule returns seven airport departures in September and two in November — 11:15 and 18:15. Portimão is eighty-five minutes down the line, so the later of the two does not arrive until after eight in the evening.

Easy to get wrong
Portimão is also on the CP Algarve regional line, but that is not an alternative from the airport: the train can only be picked up after a road leg into Faro, so the coach is the only single-vehicle option.

Fixed fare
Portimão is €14.00 one way, between Lagoa at €13.00 and Lagos at €17.00 — the Aerobus fare rises with every town westward rather than being flat.
