I flew from Santiago to Bilbao last year after Camino. Vueling was cheap ish about 80€ when booked a week in advance.

I needed to get to Bilbao from Santiago last year and found the cheapest method by far was to take a train to A Coruña and a flight with Volotea to Bilbao. I did stay overnight in A Coruña as I was keen to take a look around. The flight cost me around €14. If the timings work it could be a good option for you.

Thanks for all your suggestions, we found a great solution; we just hire a car!

We leave in our own time, obviously pre-arranged pick up from Santiago Train Station, big drive on the day, but we can stay the night in Burgos en-route back, and drop the car at Bilbao Airport... no messing, all under own steam, and allot easier!!

We had a direct am flight June 20 th on Iberia. Am flight cancelled so ended up taking Vueling via Barcelona. Worked well but checked bag got lost for a day. Train and bus took too long for us

Definitely recommend air tag so you know where bag is!!
