    Bus station or airport for spending the night in Santiago?

    Great info here. This is the way I’d go. Safe, clean and overnight passengers are the norm.

    Traveling from US

    For my Caminos I fly from Idaho to Paris (stay one night for jet lag) then take a nonstop flight to Biarritz, France. I’ll then catch a quick bus or taxi to Bayonne train station where I hop on board with all the other excited pilgrims going to SJPdP. You can also take a train from Paris to...

    Best way to get from Biarritz to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port?

    My first (Camino) trip into Biarritz, the flight had to circle the airport a few times before landing. I was nervous about catching the train in Bayonne. Because I only had my carryon backpack I was able to get outside quickly where I found a line of taxi’s waiting. I hopped in one (fairly cheap...

    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    I as well. I purchase my round trip far, far in advance. This for me is when I can find the cheapest flights. However, I do take a peek from time to time and if I see a lower fare, I change it to get the higher portion refunded. I book extra time so I can stay a couple nights in Santiago and a...

    I'm looking for accommodations around CDG airport, Paris

    I agree about going to Paris rather than Madrid, I've been to both. I found and stayed at a cheap hostel in 2019. 3 Ducks Boutique Hostel Bar. I took the train from CDG to the Eiffel Tower then walked to the hostel. The next morning I walked to the metro that took me to Gare Montparnasse...

    I'm looking for accommodations around CDG airport, Paris

    I’ve stayed at the ibis CDG Paris Hotel. It’s not the cheapest but great for a late night arrival and they have a fantastic buffet breakfast served really early. Just take the airport tram to the hotel. Ask the hotel staff how to get to the train station in the morning and how long it will take...

    Bus from Santiago to Fisterra

    It takes about 3.5 to get to Fisterra - what I've done in the past is take the bus then go check in at hotel/hostel then walk up to the light house to witness the sunset. The next morning I took a bus to Muxia, walked on the rocks near the church then took the afternoon bus back to Santiago. If...

    Getting from USA to start Camino del Norte

    Same, same. Easy Peasy. I love staying a night in Paris. So much to see and do while walking off jet lag. Nice train ride to Hendaye too.

    Leaving Leon - take a taxi to the outskirts????

    I’ve walked in and out of Leon (twice out) in fact I left when it was still dark. The only confusion was at the Parador go left. I heard stories of pilgrims going right toward Oviedo then had to back track a lot of kilometers. Also, if you want to take the alternate after Virgin del Camino it...

    Best way to SJPDP from USA

    I love flying from Northwest USA into Paris. Then fly to Biarritz, taxi to the Bayonne train station then on to SJPdP. Even one night in Paris can do wonders for jet lag. Stay in a hostel (3 Ducks) then walk around and see the sights. Next morning wake refreshed and ready to get to SJPdP. Or...

    20 hours in Paris

    I've stayed in Paris many times before and after. If I don't have a lot of time I like to stay at the IBIS Hotel at CDG. So easy to get to from the terminal. Then I catch the train into the center of Paris or directly to the Eiffel or the Louvre, where ever you want to start. Stay there as long...

    Your 2022 flight and airport experiences

    Did you originate from Amsterdam to fly international or connect in Amsterdam? I know that if you start in Amsterdam as of late the lines were around the block to get through security. But if I'm connected in AMS the lines shouldn't be so bad. Crossing fingers and saying prayers. :)

    Your 2022 flight and airport experiences

    Good-Luck!! I am anything but weak of heart. LOL I'll have by backpack with me so no worry about checked luggage. Hopefully I will arrive in AMS without delay at 8:40AM with plenty of time to rebook same day to Porto if need be. I won't be arriving for 2 months, so hoping too that they will have...

    Your 2022 flight and airport experiences

    Thanks, I had originally booked a longer layover in Amsterdam but Delta changed my flight.

    Your 2022 flight and airport experiences

    How long was your layover in Amsterdam?
  17. FourSeasons

    Your 2022 flight and airport experiences

    Has anyone recently flown from USA through Amsterdam to anywhere? If so, what was your experience? I've booked through Delta but in Amsterdam I switch to KLM with only a 50 minute layover. I'm trying not to panic. Hahahahaha (nervous laugh) :)

    Backpacks on Train and Bus

    I’ve always taken my Camino backpack on with me on all trains or buses I used.

    Flying from Vancouver - better to fly Paris to Biarritz or take the train?

    You can also use Rome 2 Rio app to look up possible routes. They do show the train from Bayonne to SJPdP as an option. 😊

    Flying from Vancouver - better to fly Paris to Biarritz or take the train?

    If you fly from Paris/Orly you would fly to Biarritz then take the bus(right outside the airport) or a taxi to the Bayonne train station. The train ride is very comfortable to SJPdP.
