Most likely not any different from many other airports. Can't vouch for last couple of months but never had any issues with CdG.
As seems to be the trend of folks on this board - no check-in luggage (travel only with your backpack that fits into overhead bin) and at least 50% split on further...
Travelers looking to visit the City of Light from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will soon have another flight option. Beginning May 23, Air France will start offering a new non-stop route from PHX to Charles de Gaulle Airport that will fly three times a week.
Re getting to El Pratt there is a very comfy bus leaving from Plaza Catalunya takes about 30 mins and in 2021 was about 6 euro
Would be very convenient as Plaza Catalunya is the beginning of La Ramblas wh8ch practically is Barri Gothic
Sans is the name of main train station in Barcelona
Taking into consideration the usual " be vigilant " it is safe to walk streets in Barca. Life only starts there at 10pm :D
Lee. sorry but I'm confused.
you used a BlaBla car - as a 'bus' not a private transportation, correct?
tooka train to Vigo then jumped on the BlahBlah bus and went to Chamartin where finally got onto the Metro to MAD
all for €30 - is that all correct?
Thanks
Please see my post. I am not going to go as far as suggest that they are "involved with scam" but in my case they did NOT follow up on the promise. As per their request I sent them (numerous times) a copy of my confirmation - stating the address of the property and the screenprint (which I took...
I got burned on that last September
I booked a place in Antibes through B.com which had the same shall I say enticement.
I looked at the small print that stated I would get a free taxi from Nice airport
I booked
About 2 weeks before my departure I contacted B.com and inquired about particular...
I really do not wish to engage in some drawn out debate about what one owes his/her boss and vice versa but I will merely repeat what I already say to wit - suggesting to someone to lie in order to do ANYTHING IMHO defies the TRUE meaning and Spirit of Camino.
You may disagree and as such that...
Another nod to NCS. Speak English, very reliable. Took my bags (with couple of small interruptions) pretty much from Roncesvalles to SdC. Not a single issue! I even went as far as put E10 in the envelope and that took care of 2 stages
Do pay attention to the envelopes though - IIRC there are 3...
Yup those are my suggestions
Trinity and Guinness
Not necessarily in that order and neither mutually exclusive is inclusive 🤣
I'm sorry but I'm NOT spending time in the airport having meals Guinness or not. One can probably safely store all the luggage at available luggage storage facility...
Ummm...with all Respect Due, I do not believe that lying to your boss properly conveys "the real meaning of Camino".
Also, there's been enough threads on the topic of Camino Family. I for one was a slow walker. Anyone whom I started with more or less from Orisson disappeared within a week, maybe...
Hello and welcome
Seems the most popular options are:
Fly to Madrid then make your way to Pamplona and catch the bus to SJPdP next day.
Fly to Paris and take a flight to Biarritz then Express Bouricott to SJ or
take a train from CdG to Bayonne and SJ from there or
make your way to Gare...
So... somewhat summing up stuff already said in previous posts above
1. Public transportation
a. Logrono to Burgos
b. Burgos to Leon (effectively skipping whole Meseta)
c. Burgos to Sahagun (gets you that 1/2 Way certificate and some Meseta Walk)
d. Fromista to Leon (gets you 3...
Yup...like when my family was leaving the Good Ole USSR and the Bundespol....er... KG...er... TS....er...border control very friendly confiscated some cans of black caviar without even attempting to interrogate us (kindly or otherwise) :oops:😁
I am ABSOLUTELY 1000000% with @jsalt - something snaps inside this particular agent's head at that very particular moment and it does not matter what the rules are.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!
IMHO i would not risk it
All of this is ...just.... MAD-dening!!!!!!
technically i can make it even more confusing for there is another code for it - LEMD (same airport I assure you)
and THAT said - its part of the so-called "parents airports" coupled with Paderborn Lippstadt Airport in Germany (i.e. MADre & PADre)...
If I was repeating a Camino I would take a train from Gare de Montparnasse to SJPdP and take RER B from CdG to Montparnasse :D
I mean what else is there? ;)😇
