    Travel company or do it myself?

    Travelling from Manchester, England to SJPDP - advice?

    I would reccomend option 2. There seem to be problems with unpredictable strikes affecting train service in France. Express Bouricott shuttle is an excellent connection to Saint Jean from Biarritz.

    Why should you Over-Night before SJPdP

    On my most recent trip I intentionally stayed two nights in Saint Jean. It is a nicd tiwn frpof relaxed walking around and gave me time, if needed, to solve airline "problems". It turned out that I didn't need the time, but walking around Saint Jean was OK.

    Security crackdown on taking walking poles with cabin backpacks

    This spring I checked my poles and a small Leatherman tool in California . I carried my pack in the cabin. The poles got lost but were easily replaced in Saint Jean.
