Last year I flew from LAX to CDG on an AF 380, the new, big Airbus passenger plane. Once I got to CDG, I had a few hours to catch the train to Bayonne from the station at CDG. I had planned to fly to Biarritz that day, but there was a French air traffic strike. So I took the train, buying...
We flew from LAX to OGG (Maui), arriving yesterday. One of our bags did not make it, because the TSA pulled it out for inspection. At least, that's what Hawaiian Airlines claims. We paid $100 for excess baggage charges to check that bag.
We checked in at LAX about 90 minutes before they...
I would add one thought about flying to Madrid and/or Barcelona. One of the major airlines that you will consider is Iberia. We flew on Iberia from MAD to LAX. While the experience was not terrible, overall I was not impressed. I was forewarned by our guide, who lives in Portugal and often...
I live in California and am flying to Europe next April for the Camino. I am taking a nonstop Air France flight from LAX to Paris CDG. I picked Air France, because I wanted to fly on the new Airbus A-380. My son is a commercial airline pilot and he says it's a great plane. I will meet my son...
Thanks for this post.
While your recommendation was of great interest to me, I could not follow it. I am looking at catching an AF flight leaving at 0710 from MAD, so I need to spend the night before at a hotel very near Madrid Barajas. I have been to Madrid before, so I am not interested in...
Hi Jen,
I am planning to walk the CF beginning next April. I live in SoCal. I have found an Air France Flight that leaves LAX and arrives at CDG. It is on the new Airbus A-380. I will meet my son at CDG, who is flying from Tokyo. That afternoon we plan to take an Easyjet flight from CDG to...
Shering. One other item regarding footwear. There is a very good 55 page blog on footwear. Gregdedman made the first post with lots of good advice. Here is the link:

Hi Shering. I am flying to CDG arriving about the same day you are next year and meeting my son who is flying to CDG from Tokyo. He will walk part of the Camino with me.
He will arrive later in the day than I will, so I have looked at all the options to get out of Paris without having to spend...
Thanks, Falcon, for the quick reply. In regards to my Item No. 4, do you have any recommendations on the best mode of transportation to return to CDG from Muxia/Finisterre? I realize that it might be a combination of two or three modes of transportation - bus, train and plane.
Hi. This will be my first Camino. Planning on arriving at CDG in early to mid-April from the US (LAX), via Air France at about 1135. No problem with that arrival time. My complication arises from the fact that my son will be arriving CDG from Tokyo, Japan, later the same day at about 1545...
