Camino de Santiago - French Way
We are flying to Dublin first, then transport to Bayonne by Ryanair next weekend June 18th.

There are several hours layover (8:30am - 5:00pm) , so we are planning to go to the town and have a quick tour, then go back to airport in the afternoon. There is fast track pass can be purchased.

My question is:
1. how's Dublin airport security check now? Is 2 hours enough? e.g we are back to airport at 3pm Or need to leave 3 hours.
2. Is Fast track pass really fast? if we have this pass, how much quickly to go through the security check?
3. Is it worth to purchase fast track pass?

Thanks,
Grace
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I've never done the 'fast track' so can't comment on that. But the last few times I've flown from Dublin the security check has been quick. If I have to check in I like to have a 2.5 hour time frame - but I just don't like rushing. Enjoy Dublin and buen camino.
 
Thank you Levi for the quick answer.

Did you fly from Dublin this year?
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
In my view, 5pm flight time is not peak so should be not the busiest. Sometimes fast track can be sold out so get cracking if you want to be sure! Buen camino.

Dublin airport security fast track works very well and you won’t be delayed. However the city centre is not convenient for the airport. Take the airport bus or a taxi but make sure you allow enough time to get back to the airport from city centre.

I have flown thru Dublin for the Camino three times and it works well . I did arrive in Dublin tired and anxious so twice I spent the night there , took the bus into town ( 30 min) ate and relaxed & enjoyed Dublin and stayed at the airport hotel . The the next day flew to Biarritz. I arrived better rested and had time to enjoy SJPP before walking off the next day early . This first day is the most challenging so give yourself the best shot

Question how are you getting from Biarritz airport to St. Jean Pied de Port?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Thank you donalomahony!

I just found out that too and downloaded to my phone.
I am delighted to learn of this app. A bit early for me as I won't travel till next week, but useful to have. I have no idea, sorry, about the usefulness of the fast track. My nod to extras is priority and a 10kg bag on board.
It also prompted me to update my verifly profile on my phone.
Good luck with the plan, I am too much of a chicken to risk heading into town.
I would sooner find a lounge and enjoy a bit of rest - seriously - than be worrying about in and out of town and timetables. You didn't ask me though! Hope the flights go to plan, and all goes well for your camino. (Next time, if you can spare the time, try for an overnight at least...)
 
Question how are you getting from Biarritz airport to St. Jean Pied de Port?
After get to Biarritz Airport (8:15pm), we are going to stay at Bayonne for one night.
Next day taking the noon train to SJPP.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
thank you for everyone's reply and info.

After monitoring Dublin airport security time - it's pretty quick, normally less than 10 mins, I decided not to buy the fast track pass.
 
I use dublin airport a lot and always get fast pass as can never be sure of the queues in security. Just be careful going into the city as there have been protests about the refugee suitation which blocked to port tunnel and another time the approach road to the airport which caused chaos for travellers. My husband been one of the people who missed his flight as he was stuck on bus
