    Flying into BCN — recommendations welcome!

    What is your departure point out of Canada. I am having trouble finding a non stop flight out of Toronto. I definitely do not want to change planes in New York or Munich. I am hoping as things open up again, that more flights will appear. I have never had difficulties with a direct flight out of...

    Tips for the long distance flyer

    Hi Rodney. Obviously flying from central Canada is a little shorter in duration but still not a comfortable process. If I am walking the Frances, I fly into Madrid and then take the train to Pamplona. I usually get to Pamplona in the early afternoon and book into the Hotel Eslava for the night...

    Camino Frances start date

    Hi jozero. I am wondering about the additional cost in two one way tickets. It seems when I look into it, out of Toronto, it is quite a difference. I have in the past booked a return ticket, giving myself lots of time. Then if I wanted to leave early, paid the 300 CAD to change the flight...

    Backpack as Checked baggage

    Hi Lee...I am not at home at the moment but believe I am using the medium size. You can't lock it but that is kind of a moot point when looking at alternatives made of light plastic

    Backpack as Checked baggage

    I have used his bag for several trips, including my Camino hike in Oct. It is getting a little the worse for wear looking but remains intact. It weighs nothing and folds up quite small in my pack after I arrive. My 48L Osprey and poles fit inside. There is a tie at the top and I stencil my...

    When you're strange...when you're strange...when you're...strrrrrange....

    I was reluctant at first but the three trips to Ireland with Dad were priceless. Two weeks, 24/7, with each other set up moments when I wanted to say"be quiet and go and sit over there or so help me I'm going to stick a finger in your eye" I am positive he had those moments as well. However...

    When you're strange...when you're strange...when you're...strrrrrange....

    A number of years ago, I took my 84 yr old Dad to Belfast to visit the graves of our ancestors. We flew into and out of Dublin and then rented a car. On the way home we lifted off in Dublin and set down about 45 minutes later to clean the plane. I guess they were trying to keep Shannon...

    Toronto to St Jean Pied de Port

    Thanks gml. I am noticing that as well when on the Air Transat web page. Better price for sure into Paris. I have been contemplating an open ended ticket as I am not sure how long, or how short :-), the time in Spain will be and it would be nice to have some flexibility. I am not sure if...

    Toronto to St Jean Pied de Port

    These are excellent points people. It makes so much more sense to have comments from people who have been in the situation rather than trying to visualize the necessary points while reading a variety of materials. Many thanks
