Hi Laurie! Yes my time to start is near :) Thank you for your help throughout this time as I have messaged you with questions and such. You are so very helpful to all of us 'newbies' I shall remember how it felt to be treated so kindly when trying to figure all of this out! I am so...
So to piggyback off Fred's original question...may I ask, (since there are some very detailed answers being given on this thread YAY!!) when I land at T4S I will get on the people mover, then go thru customs (is that right?) then to baggage claim and get my backpack, then find Cercanias commuter...
Istvan from Corazon Puro will meet me at the train station and then I will stay at their pension and the next morning he will transport all his guests to St. Jean.
Thanks for providing me a bit of info about the train. :)
so good for me to hear of this experience! I hope I am not totally wiped out and from your post maybe I will be as lucky and feel pretty good once I get to Pamplona! I have never taken a train before...so that will be new! Do they make you stow your backpack in a cargo area or do you get to...
I will be checking my bag, so with that in mind is the bus or commuter train closer to where you pick up luggage? :)
This is the only transportation part I don't have lined out in my mind as to how and get to the train station. Definitely don't want to miss that train, as I will be quite tired...
I believe I have to take an underground rail from T4s (where American Airlines lands) over to T4 - is that correct? and if I already have my train ticket where or how do I get the ticket for the cercanias?
thank you for your help!
is this the train that goes from the airport to the train station? I have already purchased my train ticket...so I could catch this over to the train station? is that correct?
Thank you SO much for this post as I will be at that very train station on Monday the 16th. I don't currently have any change so guess I will have to get some!
Wow 30 Euros for a taxi - I will try to get a cheaper means to get over there if I can. Hope your camino is wonderful!

I was wondering if someone might have a bit more info on these two options on how to get from the Madrid airport to the train station.
My plane arrives at T4s
1) Madrid Cercanias train from Airport T4 to Puerta de Atocha.
(is this a commuter train or something? is it near T4s? do I buy a ticket...
Thank you SO much for posting this (and about goeuro) had not heard of them. I just booked my train ticket for May 16th and it was $27.50!! It was very easy to book....
I have 3.5 hours to get to the train station so that will leave me plenty of time (even with any delays unless they are...
Excellent! thank you SO much :) Now I feel like I have my bearings as far as the layout.
I believe I'll will take a cab to the train station...sounds like the least complicated. I appreciate your help. (I am also glad to know there are several trains that leave daily)
That is a very helpful link Laurie, thank you. (wish I could see how far the train station is from the airport though, when I clink on the outside map...) I will be arriving on American Airlines, and thinking I will take the train to Pamplona, but still a little confused about how to get to...
thank you SO much for posting this link!! this is going to make getting the train ticket so much easier. I was struggling on the Renfe site but this site is very easy to navigate and it's in English. It doesn't appear that the ticket will be that much higher, so for me it is worth it. Very...
