    Reiterate best forum advice

    Okay, now I'm excited!!

    I've always understood that your best pricing is about 6 weeks out. Either side of that you pay more. Now that has been for domestic travel in US. Can anyone provide feedback on how far in advance to book for the Camino from US based on getting best pricing. I too will be flying out of...
