    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    Well surely it must've been me and my impeccable luck....

    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    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...

    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    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...

    Unfortunate, but true... I need to skip some sections

    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...

    Backpack transport

    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...

    What to do during long layover in Dublin?

    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...

    Unfortunate, but true... I need to skip some sections

    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...

    Traveling from Washington, DC to SJPP

    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...

    Train Madrid from Santiago in June 2024?

    You're too early? Try again in the beginning of May

    Unfortunate, but true... I need to skip some sections

    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:😁

    Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?

    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

    Flying from SDC to Madrid - a simple yet frustrating question

    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)...

    Is there a shuttle bus from CDG Paris airport to Montparnasse train station?

    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? ;)😇

    Booking return flights!

    With all Respect Due by all means continue to book one way tickets for yourself. However when other members of the Forum are siting THE LAW which clearly specifies the POSSIBILITY of something that just MAY GO WRONG why would you take it upon yourself to advise somebody else to take a risk...

    Booking return flights!

    The document that @wisepilgrim refers to above has this section (highlights are mine) Documents accrediting the purpose and conditions of the planned stay: At the request of the competent authorities, the reasons and conditions of the planned stay must be accredited by documentary proof or...

    Is there a shuttle bus from CDG Paris airport to Montparnasse train station?

    If the RER B does not stop at Denfert-Rochereau one can get off at Port Royal and its a pleasant 15 min walk to GdM its been awhile since I did the transfer at Gare du Nord but IIRC there was no charge to transfer between RER B & Metro (Ligne 4). If the OP is not familiar with Paris to begin...

    Is there a shuttle bus from CDG Paris airport to Montparnasse train station?

    That's my suggestion - no need to jump through the hoops and change to Metro just for couple of stops Take RER B all the way to Denfert-Rochereau and just walk. Short of the bad weather it is a very pleasant walk. I absolutely would NOT take the Roissy Bus - there is no reason for it and if you...

    Traveling from Texas

    I thought your Uncle John said "Life is what happens to you While you're busy making other plans" or was it your nephew? That said - are you telling me that Katie Scarlett O'Hara is your Grandma? I wholeheartedly second getting in touch with a local chapter of APotC - you will make some friends...

    Backpacks Check-in or carry-on

    I guess the true question would be "how many airlines provide such service NOW" I for one have not heard of any (which is not to say that it does not happen) OK to some extend it is a very valuable info and pretty good idea. That said (and is evident from the stories of folks who did not get...
