      Yes, it seems that they are flying on a budget airline that charges for space in the overhead bin.

      As you said, shipping is not an issue, it's finding somewhere to accept it for you. You might need to book a hotel in SJPP and ask if you can send your bags there. Whiz Air is just about the most expensive for baggage of all the airlines.

      @Milinko - You need to give us more information. Where are you flying from/to and on what airline are these two flights? Is it possible to pay for one hold bag for the two of you instead of two cabin bags? You should be able to put both...

      I always check in my rucksack when I fly Ryanair from the UK to Spain, and every time I do so, it costs me more than my seat does. This May, I paid £17 for my seat (I think...) and about £25 for my backpack. I'm prepared to pay that much so that...

      Milinko reacted to Gerard Griffin's post in the thread Hiking with a tent with Like Like.
      Well hidden always. The best spot for me is about one km from a village, about 100 to 150 meters from the path, in a hollow if possible, screened by bushes or trees and with good sightlines. My tent, tarp or bivvi is green. I use Google maps to...

      Milinko reacted to Gerard Griffin's post in the thread Hiking with a tent with Like Like.
      I've used a tent on the Camino for years, and I always carry one still (or a tarp) when I go, though I tend to use abergues more now. During COVID I camped exclusively for 1,500 km as everything was closed. I've camped in -5 and 40°. It's a...

      Milinko reacted to good_old_shoes's post in the thread Hiking with a tent with Like Like.
      Most replies you get will most likely be from people who have never camped along the Camino. It is not a very common thing to do, so most will advise against it without actually having personal experience. I've brought my tent and have actually...
