    Jet Lag After Flying Direct from Australia to Paris for Camino Starting in St Jean

    Hi PAK, Buen camino! May your walk be a good one! I have never had jet lag flying from Australia to Spain ie flying from East to Weast, and have always been able to get started the day after I arrived. The reverse is true however when I fly home going from West to East, and it takes me usually...

    Connecting flights at Barcelona Airport - Tips and advice

    You make a good point. My travel agent is away until Monday and I will confirm with her then if the one ticket will get my luggage all the way. If that were so I would feelmore comfortable. When I purchased the ticket the stopover was an hour longer, at 2 hours 45 minutes. It only took them one...

    Connecting flights at Barcelona Airport - Tips and advice

    In August I am flying with Emirates to Barcelona, and then to SdC with Vueling. My stopover is only 1 hr 45 mins, and without having any knowledge of the airport at Barcelona and how big it is, I am a little concerned that this may not be enough time to make my connection. I presume I will have...

    Iberia flight cancelations

    I booked directly with Iberia for flights in May and June. They have just given me a credit for flights to be used by June 30th 2021, plus an extra 10% of the oroginal value. As I had given up any thought of ever getting any value from my booking, I am chuffed.

    who knew it would cost so much!

    I have indeed used Korean for lots of years, and have always been happy to recommend them. I even had enough frequent flyer points accumulated that this years flight is in Business Class! My only doubt this year is the fact that the corona virus is rife in Korea. Hence the little joke at the...

    who knew it would cost so much!

    Korean Air is not mentioned in the earlier list of airlines providing a room during an extended stopover. From Australia there is a break of 19 hours in Seoul before the connection to Madrd. I have been promised a room in the Hilton when I am due to arrive in May, with 2 meal vouchers for use in...

    who knew it would cost so much!

    I always fly Korean Air to Spain, leaving from Stdney. There is a 19 hour stopover in Seoul, and as part of the cost of the ticket, they include a room in a 5 star hotel, plus 2 meal vouchers for use in the restaurant, with free transport from the airport to the hotel and back. As some one who...

    Train from Santiago to Madrid

    I had to renew my Australian passport in Madrid last year [I won't go into why, as it is too embarrassing]. I could not fly without my passport so took the train, and did the SdC/Madrid/SdC round trip in the one day - no changes either way. Alan Be brave. Life is joyous.

    Getting to Oloron

    I flew from Paris [but not from CdG airport, another smaller one] to Pau. I walked 10 KM from Pau airport to Lescar, and joined the camino there. Next day I walked to Oloron, the next day to Borse, and the next day to Somport. Another option for you perhaps, but time may beat you. Be brave...

    Travel Advice from Sydney, Australia to SJPdP

    Hi Heda Each time I have booked with Korean Air my travel agent has told me that she would have to ask if they would provide me with a room, and that they do not always do so. I have gone that way 6 times, and have been given a room each time. Now that I have the Morning Calm frequent Flyer...

    Travel Advice from Sydney, Australia to SJPdP

    Kanga I just checked on Korean Air and they have the same flight at the same price. I will actually pay $1390 when I go because that will give me 100% of the air miles on my frequent flyers - the cheaper fare would give me only 70%. My dates were only preliminary and may well change. I have a...

    Travel Advice from Sydney, Australia to SJPdP

    Good Morning Kanga! I use Flight Centre to do my bookings for me [ I have a good relationship with Kara from their Orange office ] and used their website to come up with that price. Dates I used were leaving Sydney Monday 5th May, and returning from Madrid on Tuesday 3rd July. Korean Air prices...

    Travel Advice from Sydney, Australia to SJPdP

    I Hola Heda I also am very fond of Korean Air. I cannot sleep on planes so appreciate the long stop over in Seoul when I doss down in a 5 star hotel provided by the airline and get some decent sleep in before the long leg to Madrid. They also provide meal vouchers for 2 meals in their...

    American Airlines operated by Iberia

    Earlier this tear I flew Iberia [which is owned by British Airways] from Santiago to Madrid, then BA to London, Singapore and finally Sydney. The check-in counter in Santiago booked my luggage all the way through to Sydney, and I got all my boarding passes there as well. So I carried a small...

    Bus from the Airport late at night

    Hola , Thanks so much for your reply. However I am still a bit confused. When I clicked on the link you provided, the Spanish language section did indeed say that 0100 was the last bus. But if you click on the English translation option within that link, it seems to say that 23.30 is the last...

    Bus from the Airport late at night

    Hola I have done the search bit but could not find an answer - maybe I had "a mans look" - but I am perhaps taking a flight in to SdC arriving at 23.45, so I would be after midnight before I was able to board a bus. Can some one please tell me what time they stop running? Can I get a bus that...
