    Biarritz Airport - current through time

    It took me less than 15 minutes 2018, small airport, walk off plane to waiting bus/cab in no time at all and I flew with a full plane. No worries.

    Travel from Canada

    I live in Vancouver too. There are two ways I prefer to get to St Jean Pied de Port, through London and then flying directly to Biarritz or Paris and either fly or take the train to Biarritz. I use both Google Flights and Rome2Rio.com to find the best flights. What I like about using Rome2Rio is...

    Where is the ALSA bus at MAD T-4?

    I’m taking the same bus but going to Logrono And I took that bus in 2014 and it was right as you exit the terminal immediately to your left. That is unless It has changed in four years! I will be there in nine days.

    (very) early morning flight out of Santiago

    I, too, have taken the first bus to the airport in 2014, I don't remember the cost but it was very cheap and no problems catching the first Ryan Air flight to Madrid.

    Travel suggestions to start of CF

    I agree, this is one of the best ways for people from N America to get to St. Jean, it is what I did with a slight variation, I flew into Paris and took an Air France direct to Biarritz, about 45 minute flight, perfect!

    Stay in Santiago or stay near airport?

    Stay in Santiago. There is a local bus that goes to the airport starting around 6:20 am if I remember correctly, inexpensive and will get you there. Here's a link: http://www.empresafreire.com/html/ingles/seccion9.php Enjoy!

    how do i get to st. jean from paris?

    Air France first thing in the morning to Biarritz / Bayonne, train or shared ride to St Jean, you'll be there before mid-morning and have the day to explore St Jean. Highly recommend it!

    I'm in a bit of a pickle with flights

    This June I flew from Vancouver to Paris and then Paris to Bayonne, took a shared taxi to St Jean, it worked perfect.
