    Travelling to Greece Post Camino

    On the upside you've got plenty of time. On the downside less flights during April. If I was you I'd go to the Vueling ,Ryanair and Easyjet website. Sign up for the email ads they send out. The first two have sales fairly often. You'll have to wait but when you see a sale jump on it.

    Travelling to Greece Post Camino

    When? During the summer your choice of flights soars. OTOH it's likely getting late for the good prices. Vueling out of Barcelona . They tend to have sales. The other airlines may have flights from different airports. The problem is you need to combine the cost of getting to the airports and the...

    New bus from CdG airport to Paris centre

    €4 round trip. Wow -) Only possible issue I see it's a bus. I wonder how often it'll get stuck in traffic.

    travelling Europe

    You don't really see much with the train either. It's not like the car that you can stop any place you like. The big advantage of the train is it goes city centre to city centre. Airports tend to be out of the way. If you really want to see the places in between the big cities you tend to need...

    travelling Europe

    The cheapest way to hop between cities tends to be by air. At least if you cross borders. The various discount carriers are fairly cheap if you book in advance and can avoid the surcharges. Vueling has sales. Ryanair has sales. Easyjet has sales. In some cities the cost for the airport shuttle...

    VISA needed?

    It'll depend on your citizenship. US citizens can spend ninety days without a visa.

    Up coming strikes at Spanish airports 2015

    If the airlines think the strike issue is real they'll start canceling or at least rescheduling flights. The airlines don't like having planes stuck. That means the airline will be on the hook for any change fee. OTOH if you've got connections etc booked this could be painful. If the airlines...

    Confused by Norwegian Air's website

    I'm not seeing any flights from Paris to Florida. They don't need to fly back from Paris. They can just ferry them to London or other city and fly from there. The ferry flight from Paris to London would just be a short hop.

    Shipping bag for backpack.

    Isn't there a a MEC in Ottawa? They sell or at least used to sell back covers designed exactly for this. They come in different sizes.

    Air Fare Increase?

    They don't need cookies. They know how many seats the plane provides. How many are sold. How many competitors fly the route. How many people normally fly the route. You're accessing their computers . So they know the number of people checking. They know from your IP number if you're distinct...

    Best 'Port of Entry' Paris or Madrid

    I don't think those are opposing goals. In fact they go together. The more time you give yourself the more the schedule will work. It's the people that try and cut things too fine that end up in trouble.

    Where in Barcelona to take the bus to Pamplona?

    One thing. When I glanced at the schedule the afternoon bus gets to Pampolona at I think 9.30pm. Do you want to arrive that late? I'd consider booking a room in Barcelona. Enjoy the city . Then next morning catch the early bus.

    Where in Barcelona to take the bus to Pamplona?

    Do you need to clear customs etc? IIRC the bus ride from the airport to Plaça de Catalunya is more or less forty minutes. The map shows a 1.5km walk to the Estació d'Autobusos Barcelona Nord so figure 20+ minutes. I'm guessing you haven't been to Barcelona before so increase all the times a bit...

    Ryan Air dep. Santiago to MAD arr. T1 at 9:20, Delta to US Depart 11:00 (T4), realistic?

    The only good thing about Ryanair is they pad the arrival times. The reason they are almost never late is when they say 9.20 that mean 9.10. My last flight we left the airport 10 minutes late. We got to the destination 10 minutes early. That should give you an idea how much they pad the schedule

    Flying into Paris at 3pm - any tips on how to get to SJPP without losing days?

    AKA is also know as. Normally you can get tickets but the cheaper tickets almost always require advance purchase. But you aren't arriving on a normal day. It's the start of the summer holiday season. The major national holiday. It's even a long weekend. All forms of transport are going to be...

    Flying into Paris at 3pm - any tips on how to get to SJPP without losing days?

    If that's this year AKA two weeks. The weekend just before bastile day. My guess is all the cheap tickets (train or plane) have been long sold.

    CDG to Biarritz by EasyJet: enough time to make connection?

    Is your pack small enough for Easyjets carry on limits? 50cmx40x20 I think.

    Flying with your pack

    I know Ryanair claims they're being kinder and friendlier but if you show up at the gate with a 71cm backpack they take your bag. Charge you €50 and check it. You're over sized on two dimensions and unless the stuff inside is squish able it won't fit into the sizing rack. Ryanair is actually...

    Flying with your pack

    Depends on how your traveling. I think with most of the EU discount airlines around 25litres is the most you can expect. Some are even smaller. The OP is arriving in London then moving how? The Sage I guess is a female pack. My gregory Z55 is WAY too big for any of the discount carriers...

    Flying into France or Spain from US with a one-way ticket.

    And to clarify my fuzzy brain. The out one day in the next would only work if your first day in was 180 days ago.
