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

    Hi Steve, You came to the right place for feedback! I find this tool very useful for "planning." https://godesalco.com/plan/frances For fun, I used your time constraints and came up with an itinerary that might work for you if you walk 20km - 30km per day and skip from Fromista to Leon. But...

    Suggestions for advanced booking

    Hello, I think you may be asking how much time you should give yourself to walk from SJPDP to Santiago and when you should plan to return home including 3 nights at the end in Madrid. I don't know what your situation is, but I rarely book a flight home; I work remotely so I can be very...

    Puenta la Reina

    Depending on your budget and how many people are traveling, private transfer as InBiarritz mentions may be a good option. A couple of more options: https://www.expressbourricot.com/persons-transport/ https://taxi.caminofacil.net/

    Stuck in Paris! Help a first time pilgrim get to SJPDP

    Best of luck to you!! Sounds like the perfect start! In 2015 our flight was cancelled due a strike, and we ended up at the train station with the rest of Paris. We bought two first class tickets (the only thing available); we were fortunate to find seats between cars. It was a wonderful way to...

    Advice please

    Hi, we have flown out of the airport in Logroño and found it very easy and convenient. There are flights to London with a connection in Madrid. The airport is small - no lines or crowds. Flights do not depart everyday, but they are available four days a week. A quick look at Rome2Rio...

    Logrono to Biarritz

    @JimG59 and @WalkingMan - We flew from Logrono to Geneva via Madrid on Iberia Airlines. Logrono airport has two gates, so very small and no waiting in lines (no lines). Once in Madrid, the transfer was very easy (the ticket was through to Geneva and we did not check luggage). We had a three...

    Logrono to Biarritz

    If you have not already purchased tickets from Biarritz, you might want to fly out of Logrono Airport. It's a great little airport.

    Rail strike

    Thank you for posting this. We are currently walking the Via Podiensis (did not have any rail troubles from Lyon to Le Puy). We were planning to take the train from France to Italy on October 9 for our son’s wedding on the 13th. We will make different arrangements now. Thanks again.

    Connecting flights at Charles De Gaulle

    I was just trying to be helpful. Their transfer window is pretty narrow and some of us are not as spry as you.

    Connecting flights at Charles De Gaulle

    I would advise choosing seats at the front of the plane so you can get off earlier rather than later and get to the front of the immigration/customs line (edit: bring a pen so you can fill out your landing card before you get to immigration/customs if needed). I know this seems obvious, but...

    CDG Time between Flights

    EdandJoan reminded me that during our first Camino we flew into CDG. We were booked on an Air France flight that was cancelled because of a strike. We ended up on a train between cars because it was packed. The start of an amazing journey.

    CDG Time between Flights

    I would advise 12:15 p.m. If you are fortunate and everything goes as planned, you will have some time to relax between flights and eat breakfast. If something does go wrong (delayed flights, waiting for your luggage, lines at customs, lines at security) you will not miss your flight. On several...

    Rail strike

    Hi, Easy Jet has a flight at 2:40 pm out of CDG on 4/8 to Biarritz for 105 euros (80 if you only have a carry-on) - arriving at 4:05 p.m. You can book a ride from the airport www.expressbourricot.com . The opposite happened to us 4/9/15 - we had a flight from Paris to Biarritz reserved and...

    Express Bourricot vs. Train?

    I have done both as well and would write the exact same words as CdnDreamer if she had not already done so. .

    01/02/18 ***Airfare Alert***

    Norwegian has a Premium cabin which is more like business class and not first class. However, the seats recline and there is a foot rest that pops up so it is really comfortable. Premium seats (like Low Fare plus seats) include everything (seat choice, bags, and food). They cost the same as...

    1.5hrs to changes planes in CDG. Enough time?

    They fly out of Chicago and Boston as well. Nonstop Boston to Barcelona appx. $300 for Lowcost+ and $500 for Premium (in May). It's $231 if you carry on, bring your own meals, and do not select your seat. I don't live in the East Coast, so I'm not sure if that is a good price. However, every...

    1.5hrs to changes planes in CDG. Enough time?

    Hi Again, Sorry I just noticed you were talking about CDG Terminal 2 and I also just noticed that you live in the SF Bay Area. We live in the Bay Area, too. Norwegian Air flies nonstop Oakland to Barcelona in May for appx. $300.00 one way. The "lowfare+" ticket includes meals, seat choice, and a...

    1.5hrs to changes planes in CDG. Enough time?

    UPDATE: Our delay was 5 hours; we had to get off the plane, go through security again, and wait at the gate until the plane was fixed. BTW There is security at each gate area at CDG Terminal 1, so allow for security lines. I felt terrible for the many, many people who missed their connections in...

    1.5hrs to changes planes in CDG. Enough time?

    Sitting in a plane at the CDG at this very moment. We were supposed to take off two hours ago, but are delayed by a mechanical problem. Fortunately, I'm not feeling stressed by the delay at all because I booked my connecting flight in Los Angelos for tomorrow (I wanted to recover a little from...

    From USA to St Jean Pied de Port

    Great advice Eddiebee! The only thing I would add is that the wait at passport control in Madrid may be longer. Our wait was over an hour - there was a shortage of agents or something. Anyway, 8:30 a.m. arrival to 1:00 p.m. flight is still lots of time to make the flight even if there is an...
