    USA to Madrid, Madrid to Cairo separate tickets

    @Traveler89 I'm not sure why you have joined a forum for those who are interested in walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain to ask a non Camino related travel question. I recommend checking out the TripAdvisor Air Travel forum. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g1-i10702-Air_Travel.html

    USA to Madrid, Madrid to Cairo separate tickets

    But minimum connection times are for itineraries with protected connections, i.e., all flights booked in one ticket. In the OP's case, if they miss the flight to Cairo they will have to purchase a new ticket. Also, this isn't a Camino related question.

    USA to Madrid, Madrid to Cairo separate tickets

    Are they still considered to be an international transit passenger when they don't have connecting flights?

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    That's why I specified @laurenligreci in my post.

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    I'm going to say it again - @laurenligreci just get a FREE Schwab account. No fees, no minimum balance, all ATM fees reimbursed, easy to transfer funds from another bank, no hoops to jump through! https://www.schwab.com/checking/faqs

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    Seems like a lot of rigamarole when you can get a Schwab card which is so easy to use.

    USA to Madrid, Madrid to Cairo separate tickets

    If there are no delays or changes of schedules I think it should be okay. I would like a few more hours with an unprotected connection.

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    I second the suggestion of the Schwab checking account and credit card. It's really easy to transfer money from my other bank to Schwab and I have no worries about racking up a ton of ATM fees.

    Pilgrim.es

    With a group that size a big part of planning will involve training and assessing how far each person is able to walk each day. If you want to all stay together I recommend stages that the person who can walk the least far can handle.

    If I were in charge of planning for a large group I wouldn't mind a scapegoat if things go awry. 😉

    Which apps for family to track me

    There are no Camino apps that I know that will do what you are staying. Best to use the tracks native to Apple and Android phones, like Find my Phone and Google Maps if her family wants to know where she is in real time.

    Progress tracker for myself and family

    As I mentioned in the other thread, I use Find Penguins. I like how it creates a map of my Camino as I go. When you click on one of the places it takes you to the day's blog post. https://findpenguins.com/

    How to get to SJPP from Biarritz?

    This is s busy time of year, and I have no doubt that the shuttle will get filled up. As you know, everyone must have their own reservation in advance at least an hour before the shuttle arrives - they can't accept last minute people at the airport...

    Question about Alsa bus tickets

    Yes, it's your passport number that they need.

    Which apps for family to track me

    I, and several other forum members use Find Penguins to create blogs. It's very similar to Polar Steps. https://findpenguins.com/ I use Google Maps location sharing so that my family know where I am in case of emergency...

    Leaving a small bag at Madrid airport

    It might be cheaper to use a very inexpensive bag - maybe one from a charity shop and leave it behind at your first accommodation, then buy another cheap bag when you are ready to go home. I was going to suggest the IKEA Frakta bag with zipper, but it looks like they aren't available in the UK...

    RETURN TRIP

    I'd say that 99.9% of pilgrims don't walk back to where they started. But I believe that those who do are able to stay in albergues.

    Correos rucksack transport question

    I agree. It's quite simple - if it's not on Correos list choose another place that is.

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Yes. I'm in Barcelona right now, and typical of most Spanish cities there are people out and about at night. You will probably will arrive at the Sants train station. You can take the metro from there to the Gothic Quarter.
