Anyone on flight AF9432 arriving 17:10 from Paris at Biarritz needing a transfer?

We are organising a transfer from Express Bouricott.

If we can get enough people it will be a good price.

The alternative for me was the train but this option gets you in nearer 21:00pm.

This option will get you there a few hours earlier. So we'll worth it!

Here's the link to reserve the shuttle with Express Bourricot.

Passengers transport - Express Bourricot

www.expressbourricot.com

Reservations must be made in advance - individuals cannot add people to the shuttle without going through Express Bourricot.

Please read the information on this page:

This part is very important:

If you meet more pilgrims at the airport who want to join your transport to st JPP, it is possible for them to come with us ONLY IF:– we have some seat left– we receive the booking by mail / WhatsApp/ SMS at least 1 hour before we arrive at the airport. We are only allowed to pick up people who have a written booking, people without any booking cannot join the transport. So, before we pick you up, you can send a mail tocontact@expressbourricot.com putting in subject “TODAY” indicating that you wish to share the transport and that you want 2 seats more, for instance. Without any mail we cannot pick up more persons .You can say “I am Garry, and I met Linda and John to share the transport, so now we are 3 persons in my booking“. The booking is confirmed when you receive our confirmation

Donkey Service (formerly VTC Harispe) also offers people and luggage services. Here is a link to their website and an extract re the shuttle service on the Napoleon Route. I have no personal experience of either shuttle service but thought it worth mentioning that there are two.

Experience of using our shuttle service along Roncesvalles Way :

Uber is also a possibility, without book in advance. The price is usually around 100€

I didn't know that Uber operated in this region. Do you know how easy it is to get an Uber at the airport? I just checked the Uber app, and it's not possible to reserve in advance at that location.

 

[justgiuli]

I don’t know if you can reserve in advance. But in the area there should be a lot a cars. So I guess you may find a car easily. I used the app in may 2023 there and was easy

Uber has only just started in the region and it widely hated by taxis and private hire drivers (VTC) alike.

You can also book a direct private airport transfer with someone like: https://biarritzairporttransfers.com/destination/saint-jean-pied-de-port/

I’m looking to do the same thing on April 15. From what I understand we each make our reservations with the company and once we get in the van, shuttle or whatever the price will be divided by however, many people are there.

But is less expensive

But is less expensive

I agree it is a great idea but highly unethical.
